Grub not picking up Vista

After some installation issues, I've managed to get 6.06 working, and I got the ATI drivers installed, and all going well.

However, for some reason, Grub doesn't show Vista. Can anyone tell me how to add Vista to the Grub menu?

The first portion of the disk is hpfs/ntfs, so Vista is there, I just need to get Grub to show it, is that right?

Thanks.

Re: Grub not picking up Vista

Thanks for the reply - have bookmarked it for future reference. As I only have one partitioned hard disk, icouldn't quite apply it (at my level of skill anyway).

After some more searching, I figured out how to just add an entry to the menu.lst file, and it worked.
