Dual Boot Vista and XP

I have dual booted server 2003 and Vista.

Server 2003 is on C:\
Vista is on D:\

I wanted to Install XP in place of server but I know this will wipe out
Vista's Boot record. What could I do to restore Vista's boot record so I
could still use it?

Thanks in Advance everyone!

Run startup repair from the Vista DVD after the XP install. You may need to
run it up to 4 times according to some posts.

I submitted an answer to another post that somehow turned up in this post, so I have edited it out.
