I have the same setup-4 HDs, XP on one, Vista on the other, One RAID, one data and a USB backup drive.
The Vista install should be after the XP install, and will automatically create a boot menu.
The Vista boot manager is done with BCEdit, which is complicated and abstruse. Try Vista Boot Pro, which makes the process intelligible to the average user:
