i have windows vista installed on my internal hdd's (raid 0), and also have ubuntu 8.10 installed on an external usb hdd. i installed ubuntu by physically disconnecting my internal hdd's and only using the external hdd for installation.
so now i have 2 sets of drives: a raid 0 array that's got it's own mbr for windows, and an external drive that's got it's own mbr for ubuntu.
the way i control which OS i boot to is by powering down and connecting/disconnecting the device, as i have my bios set to boot from USB first and raid0 second.
is there a way i can either modify GRUB or windows bootloader to allow one bootloader to point to another ? so that i can choose to boot to whichever OS i want without fiddling with the USB cable ?
this would be really convenient...
