Hello,
First solution
 1. Enter the bios: On start up press ESC or F2  or Esc then F1
 2. Expand the "Drives" section
 3. Go to "SATA Operation" and change this from "RAID Auto/AHCI" to "RAID Auto/ATA" or disable AHCI
 5. Reboot

Second solution

1) Insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive
2) Restart your computer from the CD-ROM.
You would require to modify the basic input/output system  of BIOS before you can boot from a CD-ROM
3) When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start Recovery Console.
4) Select the partition to format
5) When asked type the administrator password, and then press ENTER.
6)Type:
CHKDSK /F/R  to repair hard drive corruption
FORMAT to format
--Good luck

Hello everyone,:)
Mr. Jack, if he could start his windows it would be easier to try a system restoration or last good known configuration...
What do you think?
But it seems he just want to format Vista and install XP
