Installing XP after Vista No Vista CD
I'm having some problems installing Windows XP on my Dell Inspiron 531s which has Vista installed already. I have a legit XP CD that I own. While booting from CD, the CD loads and comes to this screen and locks up: http://www.geekstogo.com/misc/XPWelcome.gif

I've read the various guides and couldn't get any that I've read to apply to my Dell. It'd be a bit easier if I had a Vista DVD, but after contacting Dell, I need to buy a retail version of Vista in order to uninstall the program that they didn't give me an option of not putting on in the first place...

So, I'd like some help creating a Dual Boot with XP on my Dell Inspiron 531s. Any help greatly appreciated.

I read through the info at that link and I can't find a guide that gives an idea of what is actually involved in using VBP to make this work.
