Vista Installation - Boot from DVD

[NevadaSweat]

I've been trying to install Vista on system currently running on XP.
Apparently, the Hard Drive is bolixed up as the option to upgrade is disabled
and the full installation flakes out after 27% of "expand files" with a
message that system is unable to configure boot sector. I have emptied
program data directory but cannot get rid of it altogether. -- Therefore, I
am considering installing a replacement hard drive.

Will I be able to boot from the Windows Vista Home Premium DVD I purchased?
If not, how do I install to a virgin Hard Drive?
