Try to format first? I have vista for a few days and reinstalled xp no problem. Maybe its just your disk?

I would backup your info and try to format like the above poster said. A fresh install is always best.

Also make sure you have the right drivers for XP. Theres a 50% chance there are none for your laptop nowdays.
