download the Windows XP Professional Preactivated ISO torrent from Google (open the torrent file with utorrent) and burn the ISO file to a disk using IMGburn. DO NOT SIMPLY COPY THE ISO TO A DISK, YOU MUST BURN IT USING A SPECIAL IMAGE BURNING SOFTWRE!!!
I strongly recomend downloading ImgBurn and using that to burn.
Then ,simply boot off the C-ROM you burned and Windows XP setup should start.
During setup, disabl any Hard Disk controlers like RAID fron your BIOS or you will get s BlueScreen (BSOD) during setup.
if you want a clean install of Windows XP, select "Format Drive" to erase all data from the disk.
If you want to leave Windows Vista instact and install XP alongside Vista, select "Keep Current Filesystem Intact" and windows xp will be installed to C:\WINDOWS.0 instead.

you cannot downgrade to XP while running vista unless the Program Compatability Assistant is disabled in Vista.
see the following link to learn how to disable program Compatability Assistant:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931709
Also, type "Services" in the Start Menu search box.
Click on the icon labled "Services" (NOT "Compnent Services") and hit enter.
Stop the service "Program Compatability Assistant". Then , you should be able to downgrade.
Try running the "SETUP.EXE" file in compatability mode by right clicking, clicking the Properties menu, and hitting the "Compatability" tab at the top. Hit the "Run this program in compatability mode" and choose some random OS older that Windows XP.
Now, retry running the SETUP.EXE file and check if that works.
If not, then, what can I say? The only way to do full downgrade would be to do clean install from bootup.
