Question Help with dual-boot [SOLVED]

I had a working dual-boot setup for WIndows Vista and Ubuntu. I installed Fedora 11 tonight from the live cd in hopes of replacing Ubuntu and everything seemed to run just fine. I selected the option to install over the present Linux partition and used defaults. Now however when I try to load Windows Vista I get an XP logo and a system recovery screen from Acer. Is there hope for recovering my Vista OS? I don't understand why this happened.

EDIT:

I found a related post on the forum and looked at my grub.conf file ... I had to change the Vista boot drive from (hd0,0) to (hd0,1). I have Vista back and it's all good

Here is the link to the post that helped me, particularly stoat's post

Thanks for coming back and posting how you solved it. (If possible, it might be good to link to the post that helped you, as no doubt others will run into the same issue. However, the fact that you simply came back and posted that it was solved is a help to others, so if you don't feel like looking up the other post, don't worry about it.)

I'm going to change the title to solved which will probably help others searching in the future.
