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

If going back from a boot manager to XP, @ command promt /fixmbr usually does
the job.

Oh yeah forgot that when I upgraded my game box from XP Home to Vista
Home Premium Upgrade I was no longer able to boot into XP (not that I
wanted to). It used to irk me that every time I booted that I had to
choose Vista or wait the default 30 seconds before the process

When you boot the Vista or Win7 DVD, setup will find your XP
installation on one of the drives it detects. Just install on the other
