when you open up the /boot/grub/menu.lst file there is an example of how to add an windows installation. Just copy that same example down where the actual code is for the file and change things around so that it points to the partition of your vista install. I just added a grub menu for vista on my SuSe box so I know it works, its just different in the debian based distros.
