Too late now but the best way to set up XP/Vista dual boot is to install
each OS onto separate HDD's. Disconnect the other HDD as you install each OS
onto its HDD and then connect both HDD's after both OS's are installed. Now
use the mb's boot menu to choose which OS you want to boot. All modern mb's
provide this function. On my last mb you press F11 during boot up to get the
boot menu and on my current mb it is F8. This keeps each OS intact from each
other (if one goes south the other is till fully functional) and you won't
have to deal with the issue like you are now with the Vista boot menu. This
is how I have been doing dual boot for quite some time now and it's great.
But you do need at least two HDD's to be able to do it. If you had 4 HDD's
installed you could have 4 OS's running in multi-boot if you wanted.
Whatever HDD you set to first boot device in the mb boot selection menu
becomes your default boot OS so you only need to press the function key to
boot from any device when you want to boot to another OS besides the one on
the first boot device. If you have two HDD's then I suggest you start from
scratch and do it as I have outlined above.
