Plug a hard disk Install Vista on it then unplug, plug another hard disk install OSX
Plug again the Vista disk and boot on (selection in your bios utility)
Install EasyBCD 1.6 configure and that's all, you'll get a nice boot menu

If you're using two different drives, you don't need any software.
Go into your bios and choose your boot drive.
It REALLY is that simple wink.gif

Impossible with some bios, and much more simple (arrow only if you want to change your boot system and return) with the vista boot menu and easyBCD

It is a REALLY BAD idea to change the order of your drives from the BIOS in order to select an OS to boot to.
I've detailed the dangers here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/dont-do-it-just-dont/

But even with all that aside, if you have them on one HD, you can't use that trick.
