fat16 suggests to me either you are running a w95 or w3.1.1

An emulator is no option, it is very specialized software.
I was thinking of VMware, but that is also a lot of overhead. The way I pointed out is very simple. I have already linux on the system and a tiny partition is not a problem.
I use XP but since I only need a very small HD (only grub components) 2gb will do. XP can handle fat, linux can and there is not a lot of overhead in fat16.
I have already found an article about a red head install on fat. I don't need a full install. Just /boot/grub will do [ I only have to prevent that it tries to start the partition (-: isn't it?]
It is not so good from the protection point I understand, but since I am the only user of the box.....
