This is what I did to install Windows XP AFTER Vista with NO Vista DVD:
1. Using vista shrink volume, make another partition for d:\winxp
2. Clean install XP using cd then continue install the necessary drivers.
3. Install .Net Framework 2.0 and VistaBootPro
4. While in VistaBootPRO:
Manage OS entries Tab: add windows legacy for xp-drive letter c:
Bootloader Tab: Click Apply at "Reinstall the Vista bootloader"
5. Make sure boot.ini, ntldr and ntdetect already at root drive c:
(can also copy from the xp cd folder I386)
6. Restart computer to see the dual boot menu.

Dear Ivan,
Could I ask you some questions about this topic?
After you have done all the works, you should have VISTA on partition1 and XP on partition2, right?
When you boot into VISTA, you should see C: is for VISTA and D: is for XP.
So my question is when you boot into XP, does C: is for XP and D: is for VISTA or inverse?
What I wanted is when I boot into XP, C: is for XP.
Thanks for your help! ^_^
