Hi
I can install grub4dos from Windows, but I dont understund how to nstall it on Linux. The only manual for that tell me that information:

Code:

Install GRUB for DOS boot code to the MBR of IDE channel 0, primary drive under Linux:

   bootlace /dev/hda

I want to do it by a live CD. For example, I have Fedora and Ubuntu live cd. Where can I copy bootlace command and later how to execute it to install grub4dos under Linux?

Is there a reason why you want grub4dos on Linux? Why can't you use grub legacy or grub 2 on Linux? Their capabilities are almost the same as grub4dos.

Hello Miros84, I did a little snooping around and found the below link that hopefully can help you.

If not, I apologize.

In grub4dos I can boot directly files like bootmgr and ntldr.
