The size makes a CD burn not an option, a DVD media on the other hand is a piece of cake.

You don't need a physical disc or DVD media to install Vista, you can mount the downloaded .iso image file using an image drive and install it without problems.

The installer will show you all available partitions during setup and you select the one the you want.
The above is with my assumption of you having multiple partitions already.

Better have a monster machine. You will be unhappy with it on anything remotely common.
I'd suggest a virtual machine but you'd need more ram.
There really is a way to run it from a networked drive too. Also a remote install. Also it could run from a CD of sorts and load a remote location. Might be a flash drive method out there.
