How do i replace preinstalled windows vista with windows xp?

I bought an Acer 5810TZ, and it came preinstalled with Vista. However, I want to get rid of that garbage and replace it with XP. However, when I try and boot from my XP disc, i get a BSOD every time when its in the system setup. I tried to download the XP chipset from the Acer website, but the instructions weren't particularly user friendly. Any ideas what the problem is?How do i replace preinstalled windows vista with windows xp?
