Be sure to conduct a complete system back-up before you try anything;
Vista & XP are like feauding brothers, they don't always work together at time, but I'm sure if you follow on of the tutorials it will work fine

How's that, there's plenty of ways:
1. Burn all to CD/DVD
2. Back-up to Flash drive
3. Upload to MediaFire

Nothing, backing everything up is like a fail safe, if shit gets fucked beyond repair you still have the back, I'm very paranoid when it come to system wide changes.
