If you did the first portion of the WinXP install with ACPI enabled and ten disabled it, the problem could be that the WinXP installer can''t boot because it has an ACPI kernel (I''m not certain on this, as the non-ACPI kernel will boot on an ACPI machine, but I think that is the hardware being backwards compatible). Since you have only done the first portion of the installer, I recommend doing it again with ACPI disabled, if ACPI was your problem, the second installer should start after the reboot. It is worth noting that the WinXP domU will stick at "it is now safe to shut off your computer" with this configuration, as the ACPI poweroff signal that would normally shutdown/destroy the domU at the end of WinXP''s shutdown won''t be provided.
