Default Is there a way to install Vista on an old PC that has no DVDdrives?

I actually do that with VMware, but I prefer a real machine to test on
as well.

If you want vista for testing, why not create a Microsoft Virtual PC (free
of charge) on your modern pc. You can download it from Microsoft. After
each
test, you just close the virtual pc, and things are back to the way they
were like you have not installed anything.
