thanks for wasting those 2 minutes of my life bobburns for your destructive criticism. I feel more stupid now. But how about addressing their immediate problem.

with a little research and youtube oddly enough I was able to find out your guys problem with repairing the vista partition not repairing. To fix the problem, when u load up vista install and go into repair option, open up command prompt and type DISKPART and this will get you into the partition of your drives. I'm running off a single had drive right now so all i had to do is set my current vista partition to the active drive

EX: 1. LIST DISK (this should me all of my current drives, since i know I set my vista and Leopard partition on Disk 0 [my 750g HDD as it should indicated close to your current HDD] i need to set up that drive).
2. LIST PARTITION (both OS' set themselves as primary partitions so vista for some reason gets confused and can't except this because when u installed leopard or whatever OS your active partition [u can't dual boot w/o a partition] became whatever partition you made for your secondary OS).
3. SELECT PARTITION 0 ( partition 0 is my vista partition because it should come first but i also know how much gigs i had on it, and partition 1 in my case is my leopard partition).
4. ACTIVE (my vista partition is ready for repair [o other way i know of to work around it]).

Close out the cmd window and restart and try to repair vista again. This time you should see Vista show up in the repair dialogue and it should repair properly and load straight into your vista desktop after one last reboot.

Hope this helps.
