See http://www.howtogeek.com/howto.....-computer/
Scroll down to "We'll assume XP is completely installed at this point, and you will have lost your ability to boot into Windows Vista" to see how to set up the boot menu to list XP and Vista.

I hadn't saw the one you are mentioning. If I will remove XP will it boot on vista again?

It's near the bottom of the article with the big screen shot of VistaBootPro. It lists how you use VistaBootPro to restore the Vista Boot Loader and then set up the Vista boot loader to show a menu when you boot up the computer to show Vista and XP in a list of OSes to load.
