Now to simply see the working entry made in a different tool to see ubuntu load along with Vista and XP since that was corrected here. But there you would make sure to mount the root partition "/" as advised earlier during the installation.

Actually, not quite....
Once GRUB is loaded on the boot sector and after the system POSTs it will immediately load GRUB which takes place of any boot loader be in Linux or Windows. Once you make your decision it will then execute the windows start up process. It does not copy files anywhere.
