- the way i mannaged to sort this problem is by booting Ubuntu fron the live CD and opening Gpartitioner and changing your partition to NTFS and then install windows.

You have to delete the ubuntu partition completely and recreate a new partition for the vista install. You can do this during the vista setup.
