hi

This is simple. Just insert your xp bootable disk and reboot. Now boot from the disk and select new installation and select the patition where vista is install and format the partition and install xp there now. After that if you want to install vista. Insert the rec-disk and reboot. Select new installation and select the drive where xp is installed and install it there.

i am not able to get the disk where to instaall xp screen shows no disk found then how
