My point was that XP and Vista mess up each others boot scenario,
therefore restoring either to a drive which had the other
installed will probably mess up the boot. Vista messes with the
MBR.

When I installed XP, I did a fresh install, total replace of the
drivet that Vista was on (after taking the Vista image).

I tried to install Vista on a separate, new disk that previously
didn't have an OS installed.
