Are you booting to CD first?
Is your system primary IEDE or SATA?

you might try removing the other HDD before installation of XP.

Thanks for the reply: I am booting from CD.
I think my system is SATA.
Can I disconnect the HDD that has Vista installed, then install XP on the 2nd HDD I installed then reconnect the Vista HDD.
