Hope that gives you an idea of how to configure at grub prompt
Here's a way I came up to make grub4dos menu appear before Vista's menu:

And here's how to boot them independently with a third partition:

hi.
I only have vista premium on my laptop.
on the startup screen I keep seeing selection lines like;
A
Vista
and it says insert a disk in drive A to run setup.if nothing is done Vista starts in 15 seconds or I can select vista without waiting.this screen came out after I reinstalled vista.
what can I do to get rid of this screen and make usual start of vista.
p.s:vista is working normally.
thanks.
