windows xp - Can’t install Win XP over Vista/Ubuntu

I have Toshiba Satellite Laptop which had Vista home edition preinstalled on it. I installed the latest Ubuntu on top of it. Now I want to remove both Vista and Ubuntu from it and install Win XP and Fedora on it. The trouble is I can't run the Win XP installer from inside Vista. Fair enough. So I changed the boot option from BIOS and made it boot from the Win XP CD. The system starts booting up but ends at the Caldera DOS Screen :-(. It also says No FAT32 file system found. However it can detect the drives in DOS mode.


It pops up a console window with a: as its root directory. From their onward, I can see various directories and use DOS commands :( but when I run Win XP setup, it says that it can't run in Non graphical mode.


Please help.


This is a licensed version of Win XP.
