Installation without key

If I install the Win Vista without the key, I have 30 days to try the OS,
but I think I will need a little more time 'cause I can't find my WinXP
installation disc, 'cause I need to format that I have a virus that it's
destroying and affecting many files like the IE, I already fixed it many
time but it still appearing, or anyway I have three installation keys
provided by microsoft when I downloaded the ISO file but it is not working,
I think it ocurred when I put the disc to install and there appeared update
the installation file (recomended) or something like that and it downloaded
a file and now I can't.
Now if I install the OS inside WinXP, I can install it but without format
the partition, I will still with my actual files???

Dude, putting Vista on a possibly virus-infected PC is the wrong answer to
your problems. If you have a virus you need to get rid of it.

Reformat you PC from scratch, install Vista, then before you do anything
else, put your Antivirus software on the computer, do an update. This will
protect you from any more viruses. Then you can use your system for 30
days. If you need more time you can either reformat your PC, reinstall
Vista (which would be a major pain in the a$$) or you can buy a legit copy
and run forever.

Most important thing is to start clean and protect yourself from the get-go.
