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

1. Burn all to CD/DVD

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.
