Unable to dual boot vista+xp

Hi,

My Compaq V3000 laptop came with Vista installed. I wanted to install XP as well. I followed the steps given here
http://apcmag.com/5023/dual_booting_xp_with_vista

Now I have got Vista in C: and XP in D: drive. Also when I start the system I do get two options of booting in Vista and XP. The problem is that I am unable to boot in XP (it boots properly in Vista). When I see my D: drive in Vista, I can see all the XP system folders (Program Files, WINDOWS etc). I think that XP is installed properly but, somehow the XP boot record seems to be corrupted. Is it correct?

The following is from EasyBCD View settings option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader.
Bootloader TimeOut: 30 seconds.
Default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista

Entry #1

Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows

Entry #2

Name: Microsoft Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Drive: D:\
Bootloader Path: \ntldr

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Does it give any clue as to what could be wrong and how to get XP working as well?

Thanks.
