It's not easy. You actually need to install XP first, then you install Vista.
Vista has a built in boot manager that will detect the XP installation, and set the drives up for a dual-boot situation if you install in the correct order.
You may want to try a 3rd party boot manager, but I have never used one, so I really can't help you much beyond that. Sorry.
