Instructions
When the Vista installer finishes, you will need to reboot your computer. WHEN YOU REBOOT, as soon as your screen goes black, press and hold the option key (the option key will either be labeled with the word "option", "alt", or the symbol 
).
Once the Apple logo appears on your screen (see below) you can let go of the option key.
You should see a two disk icons, one labeled "Macintosh HD" (or something similar) and one labeled "Windows". Click on the Windows icon and then click on the arrow underneath it to boot into Vista.
You will have to repeat this procedure every time your machine reboots to boot in to Vista. During the course of the Windows installation, the machine will reboot several times. After Vista is installed, it will download and install several Windows updates - this process can take as long as 30 minutes.
