When you installed Windows XP it overwrote the Vista Boot Loader. I'd suggest running Startup Repair from your Vista installation DVD:

How did you install the second copy of Vista?
You can get a copy of the Startup Repair ISO from here:

Did you burn the ISO using an ISO burner? If not, it won't be bootable. If you don't have an ISO burner, I'd recommend this free addon:
