I did a couple of trials. I was wondering what 'savedefault' was doing in my Vista entry in menu.lst, it shouldn't be there so I removed it. And to my surprise that seemed to solve the problem! So I rebooted once more and added it again from the Grub gui at boot and got the error: "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS." Rebooted without 'savedefault' and it works. All very strange to me. What does 'savedefault' have to do with this behaviour? Way beyond my understanding.
