Default Dual-booting Vista problem

I just installed Debian on my second partitian, and I can get Debian working ok (except I'm still not used to its little eccentricitie, but I can't load Vista. I've added this into menu.lst--

title Windows Vista
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

but that doesn't bring me to Vista. It brings me to a series of memory tests and diagnostics tests. What's causing this, and how can I get back into Vista without completely reinstalling it?

Thanks ahead of time.
