The version that gets installed from the CD might not be the same as the  
one installed *on* the CD.

Personally I use grub4dos for that. That way, I do not need to change  
anything on the Windows side when I update GRUB on the Linux side. Not  
sure how well it works with Vista though; setting it up on XP is trivial.

Also, should you not be doing "setup (hd0,1)" if you want to chain-load  
 from the Vista boot-loader?
