	Not really. Vista updates are just replacing their boot 
message on the first hard drive over the top of the Grub boot 
message.

	Instead of reloading your Linux get on Google and put in 
Super Grub and get the version that loads on a cd-rom. Next 
time Vista does it's thing, just run Super Grub.
