There are other ways.

I'd have run a virtual machine before a dual boot by the way.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

Best way is to install something like VMware Workstation. It is stable and allow you to run multiple virtual machines at the one time. Grub forces you to pick an OS at boo time.

Honestly I would have to agree with the last post. I would just choose one OS as a base and use VM from there.

Microsoft, Vimware, and Sun all have their own versions of virtual Machines.

I found that Sun's VM does not recognize my wireless net card, but it has several of other features. Notably it allows you to configure virtual disk or sans.

I found that VMware's version had an easy to use network interface. I had no problem setting up my wireless network card with it.

From reading your opening mail, I would think you just can boot to the "lost" OS anymore. Each OS does his own thing with boot-stuff. For Linux, you can say to stay off the MBR, maybe Solaris ... etc etc

I do not fully agree VMWare is a better solution. It depends on some things, but VMWare is complex stuff, a bootmanager is simple.
