While I do not know about Linux, Vista's boot mechanism is radically and entirely different from that of XP and its predecessors. That perhaps explains why you are able to boot and install Vista but not XP.

Just try the fixmbr trick, either using fdisk or any other means.IMO, you will definitely be doing no harm to your hard disk.( if you are very much scared then take the hard disk/desktop/laptop - I do not know which) to your nearest Service center and they can fix the problem.
