Exclamation Cannot Boot Vista

I've installed fedora 10 after installing vista on my hard drive. I see the boot menu on the pc start up but when selecting to boot vista the pc restarts again.

I've tried to fix that and made the following changes to grub.conf but I have the following output:

Code:
Error 12 : Invalid device requested
Press any key to continue...
See I did a good job :s

Anyway that's my hdd layout:

Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x46cc46cb

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        3825    30724281    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            3826       19457   125564040    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5            3826       15526    93988251    b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda6           19290       19457     1349428+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7           15527       17031    12088881   83  Linux
/dev/sda8           17032       19289    18137353+  83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order
And that's my grub.conf:

Code:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

title Fedora (2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686)
	root (hd0,6)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=5567e31a-beb8-4041-b3d7-43caf5b5daef rhgb quiet
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686.img

title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
	root (hd0,6)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=5567e31a-beb8-4041-b3d7-43caf5b5daef rhgb quiet
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img

title Vista
	rootnoverify (hd0,1)
	makeactive
	chainloader +1
Please note that I'm linux newbie so if anyone will try to help me please give me simple description of the solution.

Thanks in advance.
