Still probably not the OS. Grub should come up so long as the boot drive 
is connected correctly - regardless of what is on other drives. I would 
check your BIOS boot settings to find out what its 'preferred' boot order 
is. I suspect it is trying to boot from the Vista drive directly (and 
failing because the Vista drive isn't where Vista expects it to be) rather 
than booting the drive with grub installed first.
