Ok yourbestitguy I am not a whiz at this by no means, However, It seems to me that you are over thinking things or over preparing things.
1.) The laptop you are trying to install on you don't care to keep windows xp on. (trash it)
2.) You have already set up partitions for Beryl (LinuxLite 2.0) and a ghost win xp. (no need to)
3.) All you need to do (IMHO) is to wipe the drive clean completely and use the live cd to boot up your laptop and then install from there. (Live CD will do everything for you)
4.) If your Live CD does not seem to work you can also use an usb device to install Beryl with. It is real simple and I have found Unetbootin to work very well not only in LL 2.0 but also in Windows. If you need help with that let me know.

Agreed
I would also like to add to this with saying that after you have linux installed you can use VIRTUAL BOX to install windows and use windows through that. After you can just remove it without worrying about partitions . I think! I never had a problem with that.
This could be a bit advanced for you unless you have done this in windows already. Linux is all about boldly going where you have never gone before.
