First seeing ubuntu added into the VIsta/XP dual boot easy enough setting the root as the mount point the next step was first trying OpenSolaris 2008.11 and then Fedora 10. Both were installed to the first partition on the ide hard drive where the installer for both placed it's own boot loader there.
When selecting the ide drive from the boot device menu after each was to see a working installation both would load right up being the default OS there. Repeat efforts to add each into the BCD with EasyBCD saw a non working entry there while ubuntu will still load as usual.
The question now will a reinstall of either seeing the Vista primary made the mount point followed by repairing the Vista mbr see any new entry load either following a reinstall where the mount point has to be selected at that time? Note that both were live disk to hard drive installations.
