Anyone find out how Grub reacts with the Vista bootloader yet?

To avoid hassle, I slapped my boot loader onto a floppy. Avoided trouble in the future.

OK......apparently for now, this will be the asiest way to do this. I tried loading Ubuntu alongside XP and Vista. Ubuntu loaded fine and Grub gave me the otion to load XP..........but Vista was nowhere to be found. Fixed that by repairing Vista and now have XP/Vista again but now Ubuntu/Grub is MIA..............

If you've got grub on a floppy, grab the boot entry and modify your Vista's boot file.

Been trying that and to this point anyway, to no avail. BCD does not like what I'm trying to add apparently..........I still have Ubuntu available by booting from a floppy.........I'm just not satisfied with that........LOL!

Personally, I love booting from a floppy. This way, if someone else wants to use the computer, they don't have to be confused by the boot loader.
