To avoid any questions of any kind of which/what media to boot from, you could use a boot manager. Google is you friend, use the most popular one. IRL, it's a matter of
taste.
If going back from a boot manager to XP, @ command promt /fixmbr usually does
the job.

Sorry to break up the echoes, but I gotta question!
I've been thinking about this for a while. Both my machines here have
XP installed. I would like to play around with Vista and/or 7, but at
least in Vista's case, 'they' say that it cannot coexist with XP due to
the erasure of System Restore Files.
But I'm always skeptical of what 'they' say, mainly because 'they'
generally have a very narrow viewpoint of the world.
HOWEVER
Is there a way for either or both to exist with XP. The first and most
obvious ploy is to swap hard drives on a tray, but what about installing
each on their own drives and going from there?
Just looking for some cute ideas.
Thanks...Steve
