FC10 Boot Problems - FakeRaid

My server has 5 SATA drives.  I have two pairs of Intel stripped raid 
(FakeRaid).  These are drive C: containing XP Pro and D: containing 
Vista 64.  I decided to try out Fedora 10 and added a 5th standalone 
drive since I knew that Fedora has problems with FakeRaid.

During the installation I added an upgrade from Hans de Goete that 
allowed FC10 to see the raid volumes and I was able to successfully 
install FC10 on the 5th drive.  I've tried this with both the 64 and 32 
versions.  The install completes successfully and I can use the rescue 
disk to mount the installation to check it out.  So far so good.

My problem is that I can't find a way to boot FC10.  I'm using a Vista 
boot menu now for XP and Vista and wanted to add an FC10 option.  I've 
tried using EasyBCD but can't get it to work.  I don't want to mess up 
the XP or Vista installs as I need those for my business.  However, I 
would really like to see if I can migrate some of those applications 
over to FC10.

Is there an easy way to boot FC10 without messing around with the 
Windows installs?
