It is because the motherboard used in that system dos not have XP support  (you will need to palce Vista on it)

HP is a *female dog* when it comes to there computers and like's to only support the newest OS at the time and sadly if the user wants to update the OS you may have to update the computer it's self.

(note that you can try Windows 7 and use the Vista drivers)

Nah bro just go with Windows 7 or better Ubuntu lol. But for reals when I fix vistas I tell people to upgrade to Win7 its just simpler when it comes to finding the drivers. And has done or doing better then the disappointment called Vista.
