Does virtualbox affect grub bootloader?

Post by nerd0795 »

I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my Windows Vista Machine and I was wondering a few things.

1) Does virtuabox screw up grub? Does it add an os to it?

2) Can I run my Windows Vista side in virtualbox if it's already installed on my HD?

3) Is the program safe? and will not mess up my dual boot if I decide to try a different distro of linux on my ubuntu partition?
