This guide dual-boot-trouble-shooting-guide-vista-running-t112570.html should help you, just substitute Server 2003 where is says XP as they both use the boot.ini file and the other legasy files mentioned NTDETECT, and ntldr

Try the guide below:

Dual Boot Trouble Shooting Guide - XP / Windows 7 Running

Just change Windows 7 to Vista. Same principle. Also Server 2k3 uses the boot.ini method the same as XP.

Edit: Seems Daniel and I are posting at same time. The guide Daniel mentioned has the older version of BualBootPro. Both guide will work tho.
