The UAC in Windows Vista and Windows 7 prevent you from running many commands in the command prompt when it is opened in the normal manner. This was put in place to prevent a virus or other evil script or program from executing harmful commands on your computer. It is a pain in the butt, however I can see why some people need this. Just right-click the command prompt shortcut and select run as administrator. You will have an elevated command prompt and can go ahead with your work. Sorry it took so long, I missed your comment for some reason.

Vista Home Premium should have diskpart built in. Try "attach vdisk file=[PATH to VHD]" and it should attach it without a hitch and assign it a drive letter.

Or without installation you may use:
MMC
and then using the Disk Management plugin.
There you can attach every VHD you want.
