    Insert your Vista CD and boot from it. It will go through the beginning of setup by detecting your keyboard and then asking if you want to install or repair. Choose repair.

    Ya, MA's right, it's not a simple matter to install XP with a pre-installed Vista. Even if drivers are available for XP, then there's the 'procedure'. Google 'dualboot xp vista' and choose a guide.
