You need to enable usb legacy support in BIOS and make booting from usb first in the priority list.

first you have to use your osx usb stick / osx disc and reformat the hdd to fat format.

after that you have to restart and have to enable usb legacy in the bios (dont need to set usb on first place) press F10 to save and then hold the F12 Button to select your usb harddrive with xp.

Follow the win installation

good luck
