Have you got the Vista DVD still?

If so, put that disk in, Set your computer to boot from DVD (using the Boot setting in the BIOS),

Vista will prompt you for language and keyboard layout options, then ask if you want to reinstall Vista or repair your installation. Click Repair

Click Command Prompt and then Format the drive using Format C: ( the one command I hate to give people :whistle:)

Once done, reinsert the XP disk, and install XP
