  1. Put your files on an external hard drive and install Vista. Put your files back on the PC, there you have it!
  2. Why the hell do you want to do that? Server is better than Vista.
  3. You cannot downgrade, you have to install fresh. If this Server is installed in a business, then this is a HUGE mistake in my opinion... if you're just playing around, then you can review my web page on how to install Windows fresh without a format. It doesn't create a dual boot, but it does keep everything on the drive so you don't have to backup everything first. See http://www.lwcomputing.com/tips/static/freshnoformat.asp
