make vista partition active, then use vista disk to fix bootloader, then vista works. Use EasyBCD to dualboot. Or, move active partition to your osx partition and that should work too.

 

basically, osx borks your vista but vista can fix itself with the boot cd.

 

All dualboot guides tell you this. There is a whole section in this forum dedicated to this discussion. I hope you looked at this before you asked this question.
