How to config "that" boot loader to start Greb

This is my first post.

Sorry for the spelling mistake.

I did try redhat 7.2 / Win 2K co-existence on the same PC before, but install NO boot loader for Linux and boot it from a floppy.

Now the problem is: my new machine has no floppy!

I write the Grub in the first sector of my boot partition(/dev/hda7), but I can't start it because the windows boot loader always take the control.

According to the official install guide, this can be overcome by configuring "that" boot loader. But HOW?

Please help.

I did find the solution.

Quite fast and simple.

masterbooter is a small shareware can detect and boot almost all kinds of OSs on your HDD. Go to www.masterbooter.com for details and download.

I think Grub or LiLo should NOT be installed into MBR, or even installed ever.
