Triple boot Vista, Windows7 and XP with HnS

For anyone interested, here's a mod to the HnS menu.lst, which will restore 2 things

a) HnS is back to a single menu (no need to choose between Vista and HnS in the 2nd BCD menu)
b) The Windows 7 startup screen is restored to its animated glory.

The menu.lst as generated by HnS was as follows in red, and was modified to the version in blue. This utilizes the fact that W7 installed to a partition which includes its own bootmgr and BCD store (unused in the red version - booting is via Vista's BCD)

Caution - This reflects my hardware configuration - yours will be different.

Just FYI for anyone trying this: Be sure that your Windows 7 partition has a BOOTMGR file and a BOOT directory.

Mine doesn't.

If you don't copy over Vista's boot / bootmgr into Windows 7, and remove the extra entries with EasyBCD to make the extra menu go away.
