    Use the drivers from the CD. The CD will say it's for Vista, but you can still install them.

    The partition will be gone when you format and install XP. Though you can make an image of the Vista partition before you install XP on the notebook.
    As for which OS is better, it will depend on your needs. I have XP simply because the software that I use in my work is not compatible with Vista. However, if you are just planning to game and use basic office applications, Vista will be fine.
