vista upgrade from XP with linux dual boot

I wouldn't upgrade a production install of XP since there is a likely
possibility of system failure and inability to recover. Also, your Linux
boot loader, either LILO or GRUB is gonna cause problems. What I would
suggest is, you format the Linux partition from within Vista or create new
partition and launch Vista setup from "within XP" choose the custom option
and install Vista on the logical partition you created for it.
