    I think that which you are asking can be done with simple 4 steps:

    Backup files from Windows 8 (on USB stick / external HDD)
    Shutdown Windows 8
    Put the other Windows installation CD and load it
    Follow the installation instruction. Make sure to format the drive (partition) where you can installed the Windows 8

    Hope this helps.

    'dude',

    Boot into Vista.
    > Disc Management
    Delete the drive/partition holding Windows8
    Format that drive/partition
    > msconfig > Boot tab
    Delete or Remove the Windows8 path.

    Cheers,
    Drew
