I have got the dual boot thing all set up, except that when I start up the
computer, it skips past the screen that lets you choose which OS to load, and
proceeds to start Vista automatically. How can I get it to stay on the boot
screen until I make a choice without skipping past it?

Click Start > right click Computer > Properties > Advance System Settings >
Advanced (tab) > under Startup and Recovery click "Settings" > System
setting, set the "Time to display list of operating systems:.

Did you go into your BIOS and make sure your computer looks for both drives
at startup?
