It had D partition, so I just started to install XP Professional to D. Everything went ok, but when I should do step 3, I missed and hit the Startup Repair button. After that I have not managed to get the pc back to Vista.
That's probably because the XP Repair function overrid the Vista MBR. In the attached document, go to the part called "Restoring Vista and dual booting". With EasyBCD (freeware), you can reinstate the dual boot function on your pc. Note that Net Framework version 2.0 at least is required to run EasyBCD.
