bg:

I believe your recommended sequence is right, but your description
may not be. In my experience, what Windows does is not "wipe out"
any other OS that's present when Windows installs; rather what Windows
does on encountering a boot manager of any kind is to 
set all partitions other than its own permanently inactive, and flash
a message up on your screen that *implies* that all other O/Ses
are gone.

Which I guess is probably just about as bad, for most people :-)
