Here man, try to boot from your Vista DVD, and select startup repair. That worked for me! :)
IF IT DOESN'T WORK (error message or nothing happens) - try to make you vista partition active for a temporary time, THEN try to do startup recovery again.
I think you can do this if you open your vista dvd, go to the recovery menu, then open comamnd prompt.
Type
diskpart
This will open diskpart.
list disk
This will lisk your physical HDs
select disk #
Here replac # with the number of the disk that contains your vista
list partition
This shows all the partitions on the disk
select partition #
replace # with partition number your vista is on
active
Now the disk should be active
Try to do startup repair now and see what happens.

o.k tried all of this but nothing happen than i looked and found something else and did it (easybcd) and now i have new problems
when i power on my lenovo my first stop is here :
if i press on the leopard i'm all good and in osx but when i press on the vista option i'm getting here :
and than i can chose vista and everything is fine, if in this screen i chose macOSX i'm getting back to the chameleon selection screen
what can i do?

Hi james341
You can try removing the Max OS X option from EasyBCD in windows?
