you use a boot loader. you can use the default windows one or a custom one, like GRUB. and you can partition one of your hdd's so that xp and vista are both on the same hdd.

by using the windows bootloader, all you need to do is add another line to your boot.ini.

that's using GRUB. gimme 5 minutes and i'll find you a good tutorial for doing it. and you're starting off with vista, and installing xp second, right?

also, it would be easier booting from the same hdd, but it's your choice.
