Dual Operating Systems

I have 2 harddrives, Both have 250 gig capacity. They are both SATA. They are installed on my asus P5L-MX Motherboard. One of them has Window Vista Home Premium 32bit OS and the other hard drive has Windows XP Home. My question is, Is there some sort of application or program i can load or anything at all that would allow me to switch Operating Systems Once I get to the desktop. Instead of rebooting and swtiching which hard drive to boot to. Any suggestions at all. Im willing to format and start over.

The only way to run OS's simultaneously would be through a virtual machine for which you will expect some downgraded performance on the virtual machine OS.
