I used EasyBCD (version 2.0 Beta) to re-write Vista Bootloader into MBR, which was earlier over-written by the Grub loader upon installing Ubuntu 9.04.

Further, I installed NeoGrub loader (included in EasyBCD) into the 3rd entry. Upon starting a PC, bootmgr will show up the 3 items configured by EasyBCD as follows:

There are a total of 3 entries listed in the bootloader.

Default: Windows 7
Timeout: 8 seconds.
Boot Drive: C:\

Entry #1
Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \ntldr

Entry #2
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: I:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Entry #3
Name: Ubuntu 9.04
BCD ID: {26148567-0443-11dc-80ed-aee1952ea8b0}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\NeoGrub.mbr


Upon selecting Entry #3, bootmgr will chainload to NeoGrub loader to load the Ubuntu OS. NeoGrub is configured as follows:

default 0
timeout 0
hiddenmenu

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
uuid 9bad4b2d-43d9-432d-bcb8-308eca5ad6f0
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=9bad4b2d-43d9-432d-bcb8-308eca5ad6f0 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
quiet


This is my latest setup.

p.s I add this short reply for reference purpose as the previous one has disappeared.
