Can I rename the folder where windows xp home

sp2 is installed? Well, the reason is I would like to try vista. Can I rename the folder where windows xp home sp2 is installed? Well, the reason is that I would like to try Windows Vista, but the installation said that the previous folder of Windows Home would be renamed to "windows.old.". but i don't wanna lose my WinHome for some reasons...You might say that what if I try to install it to another drive or partition... well, i'm planning to install it to my D: partition bcoz it's the partition i've got with a NTFS format. my other is C:, but i dont wanna lose any files, forums and even the official website of microsoft said that i might want to backup files.another thing is that i've got a win XP pro sp1 on my C partition, well, i don't care if it would be replaced by vista, all i care is my win home........PLZ..... give me an advice, help, anything!!!! i'm depressed....i might evolve into an emo monster....thanks in advance!to rename the windows folder meant not losing any datas, registries and can still run windows xp home sp2.evrythings possible in virtual reality, right?
