By default, the "last" Linux distro will install the grub loader in the MBR of the first hard disk. To add the missing entries, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the entries for the missing Linux distros. (To ease this task, mount the "root" partition of the missing distro on /mnt and read the /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst file entries, copy paste them) HTH, -- Arun Khan
