Yes I'm aware that works because the Grub bootloader sets "boot.ini" in it's
boot up process but vista uses a file called "BCD" for it's boot up and I'm
not sure the grub bootloader will recognise vista's BCD

I'm going to install vista on another pc then also load ubuntu on it and
I'll see how I go with that before I try it on my main pc
