You'll need to purchase a second Vista Home Basic license for the second installation.

You would need to buy another copy of Vista, or at least another license. If
you already have XP, you would only need the upgrade version (Around $90).

Buy another copy of Vista, or another license. Though you can buy just the
license from MS w/o the media the cost savings is very small. You will get
a better deal buying a copy from your favorite discount software retailer.

MS does offer a family discount plan. Buy one copy of Vista Ultimate,
either upgrade or full retail, and you can purchase up to two additional
licenses for Vista Home Premium at $49/99 each. This offer only applies to
the US and Canada.
