There are GUI bcdedit frontends that you can find via Google if you don't want to mess w/ the CLI.

Yeah, I know that the disc's own bootloader is reading the boot file, didn't want to get too detailed though.
Didn't know about marking win7 as the active partition though. Going to try that and see if it fixes it. It probably should, as currently the vista bootloader is reading the boot file created by win7, and the formats are incompatible. Making the win7 partition the active one should make win7 read it instead, right?
It isn't very important though, only keeping the vista install because I haven't bothered to get the program that I use to sync my phone with my computer to work on my win7 install yet (I remember it was somewhat painful to make it work on vista).
