Cool, I might try GAG then, I was going to comment on the name... but it's not even much worse than GRUB :P<br>My problem was the Vista bootloader mainly liking to steal the XP one. I don't know by reading the sf page whether GAG will help with that but I just found this<br>
<a href="http://www.zezula.net/en/fstools/bcdeditor.html">http://www.zezula.net/en/fstools/bcdeditor.html</a><br>that may be of assistance to me :D The only problem would then be claiming the XP bootloader back for use in XP as I believe Vista replaces the XP one...<br>
<br>We shall see. I'm not round to that yet. I think I will probably wait until I have my nice shiny new DX10 card so I don't have to mess around too much with drivers and such.<br><br>@RJLadyman: Vista + Linux isn't a problem (apart from the fact it's Vista) It's Vista + XP + Linux. I don't really want to have to go through 2 layers of bootloader to boot an M$ OS, I just want options in whatever bootloader I choose to use for each OS and to boot straight from there<br>

I use GAG boot manager which can handle 2 hard disks and 9 operating systems<br>

I put grub or Lilo on the O.S. partition and use GAG. It works with<br>
Vista & XP detecting the NTFS partition and booting via GAG. I have<br>
just recently installed GAG on a relative's new computer so they can<br>
boot into Vista or Linux Mint.<br>
