You need to boot from your Vista DVD and repair the bootloader.

If you did not get a DVD with your machine and have a recovery partition...
there is also a repair option...consult the manual as the key you hit varies
between mfg's

When you installed XP you over-wrote the Vista bootloader, hence the PC only
booting to XP. See this link from my website for more information:

Pay particular attention to step 16.

If you did not get a Vista DVD with your computer, download the above ISO
file and make a bootable disk to repair your Vista startup.

Normally, the older OS must be installed first unless you wish to
acquire and use some 3rd-party partition and boot management utility.
(In which case you have to follow the instructions provided by whatever
3rd party solution you select.) However, this KB Article (not for the
faint of heart or technically-challenged) explains how to repair the
Vista boot process after installing WinXP:

Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of
the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration
