the answer is by nator419 :
well first you need to have 2 partitions, one for vista and one for xp. if there isn't enough memory you will need another HD or have to delete the partition you have and make 2 out of it. which means you will be deleting the whole HD. To make XP boot from disk you need to go into setup and enable boot from CD-ROM. When you first start up your PC that first screen that pops up really fast tells you what key to hit. Hit the pause/break button to pause it so you can hit that key. But you shouldn't need to do this to install on a second partition. This is how you would go about deleting the partition that is already there
