I don't know if there's any special tricks for vista, but we might be able to see if there's something wrong with your configuration. Can you post what your /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like? Also the output of fdisk -l would tell us what your partitions look like (need to be root for this)
Hi,

I want to dual boot vista and fedora 6 or 7
