Oh dear...Looks like you got rid of your recovery option and if you did your warranty is void! Not to worry tho. If I were you, I'd get GParted boot with it and check what the situation is with your partitions. If you have deleted them both, you can use Gparted to set up some new partitions and begin the installation process. Once your all set up, you should image your partition and store it safely. That way, if you do something like this again, you can recovery very quickly.
Good luck

How does this software works ? I mean i dnt have any OS so how can i create partition with this ?

Download it. Burn it. Put it in your drive. Set your PC to boot to CD. Once it's running you set up your partitions. Reboot. Put in your XP disc. Reboot. Insatll. Easy!

Thanks a lot. I will try it today and let you know if that worked or not.

Btw one more question without this software is there any process to create partition and pls confirm that my warranty will not be void due to this ?

Thanks mate, we both have presented some excellent options for consideration.

You need this software to fix your partitions. There are other options, just I use this. I already told you, if you deleted the recovery partition your warranty is void!

First of all, very smart move on your decision to switch from Vista to XP. What u need is a bootable XP install disk, with a license code. And, u need to change your bios settings to load the CD-ROM drive first before the C Drive. Then it should work.

If all else fails, take it to your local pc shop and have them do it for u.

I don't agree that switching from Vista to XP is a "smart move" IMO Vista is a much better OS
