Tried this. It won't boot vista or xp.

My setup is sda fedora. sdb is xp. sdc is vista.

So I set my grub.conf to contain:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
title Windows XP
        root (hd0,0)
        savedefault
        makeactive
        map (hd0) (hd1)
        map (hd1) (hd0)
        chainloader +1

title Windows Vista
        root (hd0,0)
        savedefault
        makeactive
        map (hd0) (hd2)
        map (hd2) (hd0)
        chainloader +1

Trying to boot either os results in a reboot of the computer.

Fedora works good tho. I wish I could play WoW natively with it.
