I have searched a few days now and have seen nothing that actually got the job done for me.

I have a Sager Notebook. Specs- Centrino Duo 2 gig, DVD/CD Writer, 1 gig ram, 80 gig sata harddrive.

Reason for wanting to dual boot with windows bootloader is the Laptop can play CD's while the computer is off. So when I use grub as the bootloader it does dual boot but, it messes with the MBR and when in Windows XP I can't see my DVD drive.

So what I need is help with this:

Move that file onto your c:\ drive and edit boot.ini, adding the following line:

Which is from this site: http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/dualboot.html

I need to know what to do cause I try this and it seems there is nothing in the file and then it shows the Linux name with XP but, I guess I didn't do it correctly cause it doesn't boot linux.

For example like, where do I install grub if I need to and what to do from the beginning cause, I checked other pages and it seems to start at the middle or end of this process.

Thanks alot!!

You could also use the wingrub boot loader to load linux. It doesn't change your MBR but also gives functionality of GRUB.

Im going to check it out thanks . But, if anyone else can show me that other way I would appreciate it. Thanks kedar.

Still can't do it . WinGrub seems like it only sees 2 partitions. And I copyied my bootsect.lnx file to C: and the windows bootloader will not load linux , I press enter on it an it just hangs up for a second and then reboots.
