Yes you can have Vista and XP on the same PC. It's a whole lot easier to do it with Vista installed first and XP second. Have a look at this for advice.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

So let's get this straight. You have two partitions on your hard disk. The first one contains Vista and the second one is empty. Have you formatted the second partition using the NTFS system? Can you access that partition from within Vista, Computer, Manage? If you can, have a look at this link for some more help. If your XP CD continually fails to load I would suggest there is something wrong with it.

Where did you get three different XP CDs from? Are they all full bootable versions that have not been installed on any other computer?

That's where I stop this thread dead. Downloading stolen software from the net is neither clever nor legal. You've got a problem of your own making and you will get no further help from this forum.
