    The Method doesn't change. Just follow the guide for dual boot of Windows XP and Fedora. Its the same and nothing changes except the OS. Vista must be first installed and then Fedora so that grub can take control of boot sector which will be resposible for showing the list of OS installed and loading them.

    I have installed fedora and using grub as a master boot loader,how to add Vista's boot entry to grub.On googling i found this-
    and added entry in /etc/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst as
    title windows vista
    rootnoverify (hd0,1)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    Adding this shows me an entry of windows vista in grub,but when i click it
    o/p-
    MBR missing
    press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart
    How can i boot my windows then,
    also in fedora when i try to open any other drive it tells me unable to mount,see the attached screenshot(file extensn-.png)
    Please reply if someone can help me out
