Should I set up this option as the default option?It's best not to link stage1 to stage2 directly. If you do, the location of stage2 is stored inside stage1, this means whenever you change the location, perhaps by running defrag, you have to reinstall grub again.This avoids problems with some Windows (Vista) systems that insist in overwriting the sectors just after the MBR where stage1_5 resides.Can you check how many sectors are overwriting by vista ? If there is still room in the first track, you can embed 1.5 in some place after the scratch area.
I do not know. I even think that this useful link: http://www.multibooters.co.uk/mbr.html is not useful in this case.But it's NOT a DEFAULT Vista behaviour it only happens with some antivirus or firewalls I think.
