trouble Problem with installing XP onto Vista


Hello there, I recently brought a new PC, with Vista pre-installed, and as I were unable to run certain programs on Vista which I had been able to run on XP, I decided that I would attempt a dual boot.
I read this article and got to stage 2..where I hit a problem


With the XP (professional) disk inserted into the drive, I start up my PC, and tell it i want to boot from disk.

It starts the XP setup, and states that 'Setup is loading files'. It gets as far as 'SCSI Port Driver' and then comes up with the following error message...

''File cpqarray.sys caused an unexpected error [32768] at line 3514 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup.c.''

''Press any key to continue...setup failed...reboot...''

I've attempted this several times- and still no more progress.
It shouldn't be anything wrong with the disk because It has been used in the past with success.

I'd be grateful if anyone could please help me as I've ran out of ideas

Thanks, Luke
