    Okay. So,
    When i enter into Msconfig on Vista.
    Under the general tab, it has "Use Original Boot Configuration" Unchecked.
    I Have a System that has a dual boot set up between Vista and Ubuntu.
    If i select "Use Original Boot Configuration", Will it interfere with Grub?
    Thanks

    Yes it will. This is to be used when diagnosing system startup errors.

    cheers ...

    So the Boot Config will basically replace Grub?

    It will take over precedent of any current boot files. It is like a restore point of the original boot sequences.

    cheers ...
