    Are you sure? I didn't think that GRUB could boot Windows OSes at all...

    My triple-boot system runs GRUB initially, but the only way to load a Windows OS is to chainload the Windows bootloader. I'd be interested to hear if there's a way to get GRUB to boot the OSes instead, though...

    Ah... it was a genuine question (sort of!) -- I wasn't sure if that was what Toxteth meant, or if GRUB had been updated and I was missing out on some way to tweak my boot settings!

    I read things too literally sometimes... :p
