Install both hard drives, decide which one is designed for xp and which for vista. Boot from xp cd and choose the hard disk you want to install to. After installation of xp finished insert the disk with vista. Run setup.exe, when it asks you about location for future system choose another drive. And follow instructions. Once installation has been completed you will have dual boot.
