How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Vista installed first) | APC Magazine
Dual-Booting Windows XP/Vista And Ubuntu 7.04 - Page 2 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ho...ely_on_two_HDs
Dualboot Two Hard Drives - Ubuntu Forums

Please Pay particular attention to the last 2 links above

you could also try the Gparted Live CD, Although You can acess Gparted through the Ubuntu Live CD I belive, still the Gparted Documentation provides a very good starting point, maybe this will help: GParted -- Documentation

Could also be a Hardware issue, just make sure everything is hooked up right

hope this Helps,

Jake
