How to install the xp in sony notebook PC

i formatted my hard disk using bootable dos cd.
when i tried to install xp sp2 in sony via notebook which already had vista using cd it displayed a message after detecting all
the hardwares .
i pressed the enter button to install fresh copy of windows xp.
The very next screen shows this exact error message.
