Dual boot vista/xp

Hello! this is my first post, so I'm sorry if this topic is frowned upon (seeing as no one else has posted bout it). anyway i recently bought a laptop
Sony Vaio VGN-AR605E with vista home premium on it. I also had best buy
upgrade it to a 2 GB ram before i left the store with it. Well here is my problem, i want to add in Xp or if i have to then wipe out vista. I read a guide on google for this exact model but it did not work here is the link if you like http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=222277

but i downloaded all the drivers and slipstreamed it all and went to make bootable disc and it was too big...so i tried again but only with SP2 and the Sata driver sliped and it worked but when i tossed the cd in my laptop it still gave me the blue screen saying f-3 to quit because it cannot find my hard drive. My uncle has a usb-floppy if i really need to us it, to add in the driver but which driver do i download? obviously that one was wrong right?
also if anyone can refer me to a program to find out my current hardware would be appreciated as the past few i have found wont work for me.
