Vista crashes when switching OS

OK i am currently dual booting Windows Vista Home Basic And Windows XP Home
edition. The problem is that when i switch from Windows XP to Vista Vista
gets to the screen where it loads with the bar that passes across screen.
Then all of a sudden blue screen and instant restart. cant even read blue
screen. Sometimes it loops like this 4 or 5 times before it decides it wants
to finally boot into Vista. So i guess my question is What is going on and
how do i stop it and is it damaging?

Is it possible for you to boot into Safe Mode? If so, open the Event Viewer
and check for any error messages that might logged that could give a
possible hint of whats causing the problem. Report back the problem and we
will see if we can further diagnose whats causing the problem.

I can actually Boot into Vista normally but only after it crashes a few times.
I beleive i have found error. It is with volsnap. I wa reading up on it and
i have the symptoms it discribes with restore points being wiped. Something
about XP interfering with vista's. Is there anyway to fix this? And can it
cause serious damage to OS, Software and more importantly hardware.
