a) Create a third partition that's common to both windows
b) Move your itunes library to an external hard drive

First, make sure all your music is on the Vista partition (the one you will use primarily for music). Now, in XP, open iTunes and open Preferences. Change the location of your music to your Vista partition. Let it process your collection and enter tracks into the library.
