Did you download VistaBootPRO? This will see your two installations and
help configure your bootscreen, the timeout for the screen, showing stuff
like this:
There is currently 2 OS(s) installed on your system.
The current boot timeout is: 30
Default OS: Windows Vista
Entry 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Boot Drive: D:
System Bootloader: \ntldr
Entry 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Boot Drive: C:
Windows Drive: C:
System Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

It's fairly easy to use.
