Microsoft surely provides Vista on a 4-5 CD pack for those who dont have a DVD ROM. If your friend can buy that then his problem will be solved.

Re: can we install vista without DVD?is it possible ?
Just extract the ISO image using WinRAR or 7-Zip and u'll get the installation folder. Run Setup.exe and choose Fresh installation. Thats it.

Re: can we install vista without DVD?is it possible ?
^^ or you can load it in virtual drive and start the installer. I did it a just 2 hrs back. I used Magic ISO to load the vista image into a image drive and started a fresh install from XP.

fresh installation also stands for installing another os on a separate partition
