If you want the new Vista Boot partition to also be the System
partition, you have to make it active, which is already is, and you
have to set your motherboard Bios to boot from the disk drive
containing that partition. Then boot from the Vista DVD and run
repair. Boot from the Vista DVD again, run repair again, and repair
startup. You should now be able to boot to Vista from the new drive.
