    I should get a screen, but I don't.
    Also the timeout is set to 5 seconds.
    I also find it strange while EBCD says there are two options, msconfig just says one.

    Could you also check if this is how it should be:

    My NeoSmart Linux entry says the Drive is C:\ rather than U:\ but that hardly matters if the Vista bootloader is not showing the options when you boot. The only thing I can advise at this point is that you increase the Timeout to 15 seconds just to make sure the menu isn't disappearing before you get a chance to make a choice. But I doubt this is the problem. Five seconds should be enough.

    At this point, I think you have to go with Spangle's advice and check the EasyBCD forum for why the Vista bootloader options aren't appearing. My experience is more on the Grub side.

    I tried installing EasyBCD 2.0 beta and try to dualboot with that.
    Guess what, it works!
    Thanks again for your help all, I appreciate it.
