I can "dual boot", within the Legacy BIOS system; I can select either
Debian Linux 7, or, Ubuntu Linux 14.04, into which, to boot, from the
Legacy BIOS GRUB menu.
I had wanted for each of the three operating systems; MS Win8, Debian
Linux 7, and, Ubuntu Linux 14.04, to appear as options, in the same
bootloader menu, so that I could select, from the single bootloader
menu, one of them, into which to boot.
But that appears now, to be not an available option, I believe,
without replacing the Setup Utility, that has been previoously
specified.
