Feel free. I know installing XP AFTER Vista can be hard but my understanding is the hardest part is getting it in the Vista boot loader which isn’t really that hard. If it can’t read the install CD then he’s got other problems.
Also, just for safety, take the Vista hard drive out when installing XP. If they are on the same drive, make the Vista partition hidden or locked using MiniPE or Hirens. The last thing you want is to have the XP boot loader overwrite Vista’s, I think that’s an automatic epic fail.
