To use Vista's boot manager, you need to start setup by booting from the DVD
and place it on a partition that is at least 16 GB in size. After
installation, the boot manager can be edited using BCD or 3rd party tools,
such as VistaBoot Pro.

Do not attempt it by inserting the DVD while Windows XP is running, only
from a reboot and select "Clean Install" and select the partition to place
it on.
