No. Today I tried some of my devices I don't expect to work under Ubuntu: an unknown usb bluetooth dongle and a Logitech webcam. Since I don't use them for long time the last memory with them were in Vista which asks for drivers of these devices. Some could be found online, some not. I can't remember precisely but Ubuntu definitely work out of box. I just installed additional software to provide GUI to use the devices - apt-get install cheese for webcam image/video recording, bluetooth file transfer under Gnome to transfer files to bluetooth devices. I must say that Ubuntu/Linux may support more hardware than Vista.

It's automatic, maybe the Active flag of the partition do the trick. While Grub try to take over MBR and the snippiest points the rest of boot sequence to the destinated partition, to restore MBR for Vista is fairly quick and easy. Take out your DVD installation disk, boot from it and choose system mantenance. In command line interface, type: bootrec / fixboot bootrec / fixmbr That's it. Now you can restart your PC, take out installation DVD and it should boot directly to Vista.

It's not the first time CSDN blog lost my work.. I have to come here to post my technical articles. sorry for the inconvience for myself. Here are the steps - find a bootable linux CD - get a terminal and type sudo grub - now find where's grub installed find /boot/grub/stage1 - tell grub where is the grub root installed (for example, first hard disk, first sector) and set it up on MBR root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) Make sure that /boot/grub/menu.lst is there and unaffected when you install windows. Or you'll have to make change to that file.
