Backup dual boot loader
I have installed Win 7 and Vista, both 64bit, as a dual boot on the same HDD same as in the tutorial. Win 7 is OEM on the Laptop and installed first and Vista installed second and it is working properly. I have left space at the end of the drive for a linux install I will use one with grub 2. I have triple booted before with one install of Windows and 2 of linux and grub 2 always picks up the other installs OK. Has anyone done what I propose and did it work? But more importantly how can I backup or restore my current boot loader as it is, with both, in case something goes wrong? I have the Toshiba recovery Disc's for Win 7 and the installation disc for Vista and the System Repair Disc from Win 7. But I do not want to reinstall. I know you can modify grub 2 manually but I have not done this before and it looks difficult, any advice please.
