There have been several articles written describing how to install Vista
after installing another OS. You could start with this one, or Google
for others.

	http://apcmag.com/5045/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux

I ran across a Microsoft KB article describing how to accomplish it
also; but for the life of me, I cannot find it again. If I feel
ambitious at some future point, I might re-investigate it.

BTW, from what I have read, Vista does not have to be on the primary
partition any longer. It simply needs to be on the active one to boot.
I have not investigated that however.
