Hi,
Did you follow the howto from easybcd? I copy it bellow for you to check:

Vista before Linux

EasyBCD makes installing Linux after you have Windows Vista up-and-running a 
breeze. These steps assume you have Windows Vista properly installed and 
booting, and are looking to install Linux on a second hard drive or partition. 
These steps also assume that you are using the default Windows Vista 
bootloader, and don't manually change the active partition around. If you had 
Linux installed before you installed Windows Vista, scroll down to the next 
section.

    Put the Linux CD in the drive, and start the installation normally.
    When prompted to set up the bootloader, make sure you specify to install 
LILO, GRUB, or whatever to the bootsector of the partition that Linux is being 
installed to and not the MBR of your hard drive.
    Finish the Linux installation, take the CD out of the drive, and reboot.

At this point, you'll go straight back to Windows Vista. Don't panic, 
everything is OK - you'll be in Linux soon enough!

    Turn on EasyBCD, go to the "Add/Remove Entries" screen and pick Linux from 
the tabs at the top.
    Pick the appropriate bootloader from the drop-down menu (either GRUB or 
LILO),
    Give the entry a user-friendly name (and if you want to keep "NST Linux 
Loader" as the text, we won't say no!)
    The hardest part of this mind-numbingly difficult exercise (/sarcasm) is 
choosing the correct hard drive and partition numbers that correspond to the 
partition you installed Linux (and most importantly, the bootloader) to.
    In EasyBCD (and Windows in general), drive numbers start at 0, and 
partitions start at 1. So the second partition of the first drive would be 0, 
2.
    Press "Add Entry" and reboot.

When the Vista bootloader asks you what OS you'd like to boot into, select 
Linux to continue the first-run configuration for your brand-spanking-new Linux 
install.
