How do you install Mint to create a dual boot system with already installed VistaHP64 and not mess up Vista or lose files???

Can you provide step-by-step?

You can have it partition the HD for you, and it won’t even mess with your Win.. (when you run the livedisk, it will give you the option.

When you boot after the install, it will give a bootscreen with a choice of which OS you want to boot into.
