Boot to Vista DVD and run Startup Repair. Look here:

I understand you can't just install an earlier version (XP) on a
machine that already has a later version (VISTA) because as you have
found out it changes the boot files.

You may be able to rectify this with VISTABOOTPro, as someone has
suggested, and there is a command line instruction to repair the VISTA
boot file although I don't know what it is.

I'd suggest if you want to use your laptop tomorrow you'd better run
the recovery disks that should come with it to set it back to factory
condition.
