Hey all,

I've got a triple boot setup running Win XP, Ubuntu 7.10, and Win 7 RC. It came with XP, then I loaded up 7.10, then Win 7 beta ->RC. I am using the Windows 7 boot manager as of right now. I have added menu entries in order to get into GRUB to boot Ubuntu, but I'm wondering if I upgrade to 8.04, will I lose my Windows boot manager and have it replaced with GRUB? I believe there was an issue a while ago where GRUB wouldn't play nice with Win 7 which is why I needed the Windows boot manager.

I'm pretty new to this type of stuff, but I've gone pretty far getting a working triple boot. :) Apparently, 7.10 is EOL and 8.04 is the next logical step. Any help or insight would be appreciated!
