Hello here is the output you requested, have put comment in where I have commented out lines in order to boot up ok.
I see the grub menu ok but it dosnt have the vista on it, because of my 'tinkering'
Also I change the 1st drive in my bios, to use Ubuntu, and then switch back if I want vista.
Thanks for your assistance, much appreciated.
