As in the past, the oldest Windows OS should get installed first with latest then
last.
In this case, particularly significant because Vista alters the XP boot .ini to add
the multi-boot using the new bootloader screen.
In a similar situation, I had to reinstall XP, THEN Vista to regain dual booting
again. I found editing the Vista boot bcdedit file impossible to get a handle on.
I was able to restore a XP drive image, reinstall Vista, then erase that and restore
a Vista drive image so the process was way less painful.
