Ok, so I had ubuntu installed, and then i installed vista, no problem there.
I restored the grub loader, and thought I modified the menu.lst correctly to put vista on the list. and it does in fact come up on the list.
However, when I choose vista from the grub list the screen just flashes and it's still on the grub loader, and the only thing that works is booting to ubuntu...
