Well for one thing that laptop with Vista on it will suck. If it only has the stock 1Gb in it it will need more. Next problem is you won't be able to find XP drivers for it so thats why XP isn't working right.

Why are you trying to put Vista Buisness on this little unit? Was the system working before you tried to upgrade it? Did you wipe the drive for a fresh install when you tried to install the new OS?

If there are probelms it could be any number of things but i would suspect the HDD.

If you're having problems with both Vista and XP installations, then it definitely sounds like hardware problems. Test the ram and hard drive like Mpilch mentioned.
