I second all the super duper suggestions made. This should really be
your first choice.

Another thing you can do (second choice) is turn your vista partition
into a vmware fusion image so that it can be run under vmware fusion
in the os x environment. Vmware provide a tool called "vmware
converter" for this purpose. I find this worked better for me, as I
didn't end up wasting unnecessary disk space by having a windows
partition that was larger than necessary.
