Problem installing full virtualized Vista guest

Now that I finally got W2K installed as a guest, I’m
moving on to Vista. The initial setup and
config worked and the Vista install booted
from CDROM and transferred files to the harddrive. After reboot there is just a
blank black screen, which is very similar to the W2K install. With W2K I worked
around it by hitting F5 and selecting Standard PC. With Vista
there is no such option.

I transferred the ISO to disk and added it to my config
file. When I create the guest and it tries to boot I get this error:

Boot from Hard Disk 0 failed

FATAL: not a bootable disk

My config file:
