From the thread there you seemed to have solved that. When installing either XP or Vista you first have to decide on the power options. That's found in the Control Panel. With XP you simply right click on the desktop and open the screen saver tab. The power option button is on the lower hlalf of that screen where you can then change from 20min. standby to "never". The option for power off when pressing the power switch is checked off there.
The problem seen now with Vista is that you have to install that onto the first NTFS primary partition. It wants to own the drive. The boot loader will automatically go to the first drive detected on the system whether ide or sata with ide even with sata installed. Try installing it to a second partition while XP is on the first? It replaced XP Pro here when tried. If you installed XP to the second first and then Vista onto the first that's an idea.
