It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Well i went ahead and did exactly as you said... I dont understand what i could be doing wrong. When i pressed ESC into GRUBS boot there was only 3 different options:
Ubuntu
Ubuntu (safe mode)
Ubuntu recovery
So i had to install vista again. I noticed that there was different flags i could put on partitions, which one should i set to boot? And i noticed there was a option to make partitions primary or extended i beileve, do i have to make the ext3 extended?
Thanks for the help

Problem Solved!
First off i would like to thank devils_casper for putting the time into trying to help my nub a$$.
Solution:
I had to partition
Fat32
ntfs< Heres where vista go's 35 GIB
ext3<Heres where linux go's 35 GIB
Extention
Linux Swap 512MIB
Fat32 the rest of your space
Once linux was installed i had to edit menu.lst in the terminal to show windows vista.
After literally 15 fresh ubuntu and vista installs i am finished!
