Is partition of HD required to install VPC

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have read the MS support tips on installs OS and programs but have
not seen anything about install VPC itself. How easy/difficult is it?
Do I have to partition my HD to make a Windows-specific disk? If so, I
may not be able to do. I am away from home, don't have my OSX install
discs, my optical drive is not working, and I don't have my external
disk to make a back-up of my HD. If I don't need to partition, then I
should be fine. I assume I can purchase VPC from MS website and
download directly. I have PPC chip running on OS 10.4.10; I want to
buy VPC 7 to run Win XP (home or pro?). Thanks for any insight. TE
