Installing xp after vista is pre-installed, will cause you to loose the ability to load vista, but you will be able to add the vista bootloader using the free program vistabootpro from inside windows xp. It's a complicated process, below is the link to the actual directions and to the website that deals with nothing but vista dual boot problems/installations.
