You should check in disk management on either system and see which is your
'system' drive.
If your XP drive is the system drive, you should download VistaBootPro and
install on XP. On the bootloader screen check Uninstall the Vista
bootloader and apply. This should get you back to going into XP without the
Vista screen.
You can then format D.

When Vista is install in a classic "clean install" (not upgrade of XP)
to a separate partition or HD:

1. Download VistaBootPro http://www.vistabootpro.org/
2. Install VistaBootPro on your XP install
3. Run VistaBoot Pro
4. Click Bootloader box
5. Select Uninstall the Vista Bootloader (Used to restore Legacy OS) radio button
6. Reboot
Your boot menu will be gone and you should boot directly into XP
7. Format your D: drive
