Vista? oh come on Taisto!! ;-) haha

Did you remember to Erase the "drive" you installed to in Disk Utility (not repartition... just erase the volume)? I've found that by simply doing <b>create partition primary id=af</b> it wasn't creating a good starting base to install to. I had to let OS X reformat the volume to HFS+.

Read through this thread: <a href="http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=4749&hl=dual+boot">http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=4749&hl=dual+boot</a> and educate yourself on the different people's methods. Realize that some don't apply to you.

I agree with Taisto as far as the partition numbers being closer together.

using your Mac Install DVD, you can go into Disk Utility and use the Restore function to copy the data to different volumes on the same Hard drive. This will help you get them in a more logical order.

One last thing to try is the fdisk command in Terminal (running from your OS X install DVD).
using this command you can ensure the proper flags are set at boot so you can boot to the correct partition.
Use <a href="http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc3">This Guide</a> to help you with that.

Let us know how it goes.
