You need to boot straight from the XP Disk, you can't install XP from within Vista.

Do you know how to set up your BIOS settings? If so, set your CD Drive as the first boot device and reboot [by default, your computer is configured like this anyway]. Then follow the prompts, being sure to delete any partitions currently on the drive.
