I need a Windows based Bootloader


Something I can install from windows it must be able to boot from stuff like a Apple Darwin CD install. I already tried Wingrub but for some reason I am unable to get it to change the menu during boot. It uses the normal default boot menu (just shows me windows and nothing I added) so if you can help me with that as well thats nift.y Or if you can show me how to alter the Windows Bootloader to be able to boot from the Darwin disk then that would also be useful. Thanks

That's true. You can use the default windows boot loader to boot linux. If you search the forum you'll find a lot of threads explaining how you can do this.

I never thought I'd see myself do this, but http://freshmeat.net/projects/grub4dos/ may also be an option.
