it seems like you are trying to treat a virtual directory as a separate website, which will not work. you can only have 1 website in IIS on windows XP.
A virtual directory is as the name a suggests a directory that is virtual (not real) which points to a real directory. so if your vdir is called test, then to access it you need to go to http://localhost/test You need to have IIS 7 Express to get multiple sites, which you can install from the "microsoft web platform installer".
