Try booting with the XP install disk, then at your FIRST opportunity
to do a "Repair", go to the Repair Console, enter your Administrator
password (NOT your own password, but the password created when you
first installed XP), and type "fixmbr"<ENTER>
You will get an error, but ignore it, and go ahead and finish the
"fixmbr" process. This should remove the Vista boot manager, and
return the XP boot manager.
This does work to remove the LILO boot-loader. It should restore your
XP boot loader.
Of course, I could be way off the track, since I have yet to get Vista
installed on my Intel iMac. Just waiting for the delivery of my Vista
DVD from Microsoft.

I don't believe there is a password for the repair consule unless you created
on. I have used it before and all I did when the it asked for the password
was hit enter.
