Grub4DosConfig
Grub4DosConfig
Grub4DosConfig is the Grub4Dos boot loader with GUI installer.
The name 'Grub4Dos' can be confusing but it is actually 'Grub NOT ONLY for Dos'.
Grub4dos supports many file system: NTFS, VFAT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4. Does not support ReiserFS.
Grub4dos is upper compatible with (legacy) grub, can do all the legacy grub can do.

Jemimah, yes grub4dos works without ntfs/fat -can be installed to ext2/3 (probably ext4 as well). grub4dos includes lots of extra features (and fixes) as compared to standard grub-legacy, including booting iso's, creationg and use of RAM-disks -lots of tricks built in there. I'm interested in the mini version called 'wee', but it does not support editable menu.lst files -instead your menu is concatenated onto the binary, and it supports less filesystems. grub4dos is the most complete hack of grub-legacy, but the developer of super grub disk (SGD) has done a lot of mods in somewhat different directions and also has a grub2-based version. He (adrian15) is an upstream contrib to grub2.
Unless something has changed, Grub4Dos can only put its stage1 boot code on the MBR. It cannot write it to a partition boot sector. That means that you can't use it for an install procedure like this.Grub4dos is upper compatible with (legacy) grub, can do all the legacy grub can do.
For dual booting with pre-Vista windows, you can simply install grldr wherever you like and add an entry to the boot.ini file which points at grldr (grldr is the equivalent of the grub-legacy stage2 file)
For dual booting with Vista/W7, you can simply rename the bootmgr to something else and then install grldr named as bootmgr. See here:

Actually you can do the same for NT/XP just rename ntldr and install grldr as ntldr.
This method is actually much less invasive than tinkering with the boot.ini file. Just create an entry for NT/XP/Vista/W7 in the menu.lst.

It can be installed on the PBRs, but the Grub4DosConfig does not support.rcrsn51 wrote: It cannot write it to a partition boot sector.

Empty Pupsave
Grub4Dos makes loose PF2 PF3 choice for several different type of boots
If you want to be able to boot in RAM, add an empty pupsave if you have only one Pupsave yet created.
