Try EasyBCD. It should work on XP and you can install the VIsta bootloader and then add the Leo partition into the bootlader easily.

Or you copy the chain0 file from your Leopard System to the root of your Windows partition. Now add C:/chain0=Leopard to your Win-Bootloader. (only on XP)

P.s.: Select in BIOS the HDD priority to the Windows' one ... ;-)

Hi i use four drives in my system, one ubuntu one leo (zeph v1) vista and a storage drive.
I unplug other drives except the one installing and allow grub , darwin or whatever to think its the only os.
Then do the same with the others.
At boot i can then hit f8 on my m2n4 mobo to choose the os.
This trick works in a lot of other board-bios combos to!.

@xan: I don't know if it works with GUID/EFI. Doesn't seem so. I'm sorry. With MBR that would be all...

What about Boot Camp? I'm serious! On EFI with GUID should it work, shouldn't it?
