Doing a complete reformat will allow for this as nimicitor said, however if you install a Dual-Boot with Windows Vista you will run into issues with it overwriting the boot.ini file and removing Windows Vista as, a bootable option meaning you would have to fix that file. But if your only completely reformatting then no real issue.
