If you still have your Windows XP installation disc, follow the instructions
in the following link which shows you how to reinstall Windows XP. If you
don't own a copy of XP, you will have to purchase a license.

If you upgraded to Vista from WinXP and preserved the Windows.Old
folder when prompted:

How to go back to Windows XP after you have upgraded a Windows XP-based
computer to Windows Vista

install Windows Vista

Otherwise:

After backing up any data you wish to transfer to the new OS
installation, simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part
of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

Then the backed up data can be restored and applications (Those
that are WinXP-compatible, that is) re-installed.

Do you have a backup of your XP system? If not, you're screwed,
probably.
