Dunno, never tried Vista. My only experience is that I fucked over when installing 2000 over XP at some point. :P

Oh you'll want to read up on Second-stage boot loaders, the main boot loader is the BIOS selecting what to boot.

I didn't know about it then. Gave me a chance to format and start fresh, anyway. Not a bad thing. :P

Won't work with Vista. Vista doesn't use NT loader. You'll have to let it do an auto-boot repair from the CD because it thinks your incapable of fixing anything on your own :wacko:
