There's a workaround where the Vista drive is basically hidden from the XP installation. In involves editing the registry on XP. Take a look here for more info.

Keep in mind that the value you create depends on where you've installed Vista. The example in the article reflects a setup where XP is installed on C and Vista on D. That leads to a volume name of \DosDevices\D:. If Vista was installed on a different drive, such as F, the value name would be \DosDevices\F:.

Ok, thanx for the clarification.
I've read that's possible to use BitLocker in Vista to solve the problem, but
it's not so simple...

Maybe we will see again in the Vista NG,
Bye!
