2nd: if we boot with the xp disk in we get a blue screen error just after the disk loads the inital files and is tring to move on to the installation screen. the disk is ok and will work in any other computer not running vista.

any help would be great!
Why not run Win XP from a Virtual Machine in Vista till you upgrade your business software to Vista compatible versions, saves a hell of a lot of pig rooting around.

Here's the link for Vitual PC from Microsoft which is free product...
