Firstly, how was Vista hopeless for gaming? Driver problems are quite frankly expected this early after release, have patience.
Secondly, why would you use another piece of software to create a second partition on your hard drive? Assuming this a new computer, you have all the install disks, and no data you want to keep, all you had to do was delete the existing partition, then make two new partitions, install Vista on the primary, XP on the secondary, and your good to go.
Your Vista instilation got messed up because you installed XP on the Vista partition and overwrote the Windows directory, if you had installed XP on the second partition you supposedly made, you would not have affected the Vista instilation at all.
Start a new install, create a Vista partition as big as you want it to be, install all your software etc. make sure it works, then do an XP install, making a new partition of the unpartitioned space.
Alter your startup settings so that the screen that shows operating systems is up for 10 sec or something so you can see it, it may have been turned off, and it should ask you when you boot up which operating system you want to boot too.
