Is that xp on c: and vista on d:. If not, better do this way.

For now, try to repair XP using XP boot CD.

okay. Now try this

Boot into Vista

Open disk management. (start -> control panel->comp. mgmt.->disk mgmt)

Make XP's partition as Active partition. (right click on xp's partition and Mark partition as active).

Reboot and see if XP boots properly
