    Format PC, install XP on primary partition, install Vista. If Dell gives you an image-based recovery, you're SOL, because installing XP after vista is a nightmare.

    I highly doubt dell is going to give me a actual vista disk, is there a way to get them too though?

    and I cant just make a separate partion and install xp on it even if i still have vista installed?

    XP will overwrite the Vista boot partition, and the only way to fix that is to have a Vista disc that you perform a repair install with.
