Dual Boot Vista and Mac using Vista bootloader

There is some good video tutorial about dual boot mac and vista in Intel/AMD PC. But some are really hard to watch. I'm doing a little experiment on my friends notebook which is fujitsu (I don't know what series..) installing Vista and Mac on it. And it just work well dual booting them. So, here is the condition : I have 4 partition : 1st partition is vista installed, 2nd and 3rd for data files. And the last partition (4th) I use to install Mac (kalyway 10.5.2). Well this is what I do (after read some tutorial and watch some videos) :

1. boot up with your vista DVD, then choose repair computer
2. select Command Promt from the dialog appear
3. type this : diskpart (then press Enter)
select disk 0
select partition 1 (where vista installed)
active (set it to active partition)
exit

4. the type this : bootrec /rebuildbcd
y (press y, mean "yes" for the question)

5. set the Mac partition to active, type this : diskpart
select disk 0
select partition 4 (where Mac installed)
active
exit

is everything run well, you should now select which OS to use... that's it..

note: this notebook keyboard is not working (I'm using an external usb keyboard) cause of different layout or not supported, I haven't know yet..

hope this help... fell free for comment or correct me if I'm wrong...
