Dual boot issues XP Vista

Well vista is installed and runing, but now I cant seem to boot into XP. It is set for dual boot configuration, but when I try to boot to XP the splash screen appears breifly then followeed by a blue screen breifly as well.. I tried going into Xp via safe mode with the same problem. I can't seem to use the debugger program to see what is causing this as it is installed on the XP side. Anyone with any ideas thanks...

If XP was installed prior to Vista you shouldn't need a third party boot app. Do you get any codes on the Blue Screen?

Blue screen briefly, and then reboots. I had these two OS running side my side before with no issue. I wounder if has something to do with SP3 for XP. Only reason why I say this is because before they ran together with XP Sp2. I'm going to give Vista a trial run over the next two weeks. If it works out ok with little issues, then I plan on retiring XP, but not on the laptop since I have never had a issue..
