Put the cd in the drive, boot to the "one time boot menu" (usually f12) On the first screen, choose enter, f8 to agree to license. You choose what partition (drive 0, either partition 1 or 2, it'll be the one that vista was on)It'll warn you not to put two os's on the same partition. It'll ask you if you want ot format, choose, yes, choose ntfs (full, NOT quick) format. that you're going to erase everything. And let 'er rip!

You'll need an XP install disk. Once you have it, simply format your drive (NTFS) and install Windows XP! You can do it all from the CD.

Boot from the Windows XP media.
