The easiest way is to format the system partition and install Windows Xp and then Vista. If you install Xp after Vista you might have to edit BOOT.INI manually. I beleave Vista will not allow you installing Xp when it's runnning. So you need a bootable XP (and Vista Home) CD/DVD.

Actually it is possible to run both Windows XP and Windows Vista on the same computer but you will have to set up a Dual Boot setting up 2 partitions, formatting them to NTFS format, then installing XP on the first partition then Vista on the second. Hope I could help
