Your dual boot MBR was on the C drive.........Vista's bootloader overwrote
it.
here is a link to a free program that lets you modify the bootloader

Hi,

You need to to use bcdedit /add from a command prompt, see instructions

You may find it easier to use VistaBootPro if you are uncomfortable with
working from the command prompt:
