it happens, you need to boot into Vista, then set the XP boot as the 1st option.  When you boot up you need to be tapping F8 and at the same time hit the enter key to boot into XP or Vista depending what you want.

While not the problem here but I think relevent for reading folk

If you doing your bios button and it is not working and your a USB keyboard it is not kicking in yet and you needs an old style keyboard or the converter into the keyboard slot so the mobo can pick it up.
Some new motherboards I got for people still cant pick the keyboard up from boot if usb
