Install grub to windows ntfs partition is possible?
Hello
In HDD with 2 partition sda1 windows xp sda2 windows 7 1. It is possible to install grub? (Using live cd) 2. If not, if I create sda3 (ext3), and install grub there and boot both windows will be possible? |
It is possible to in some cases to put grub in some other than normal place. Windows would pass off to grub if you wanted. Not normal but used to be very normal in lilo.
One can easily install grub but it tends to bork your MS loader. It would help us if you were to tell a bit more about what distro you are trying to install maybe. |
No distro.
Windows xp in c: Windows 7 in d: And I want to install grub in MBR and boot both windows. Is that possible? |

I had a site explaining this bookmarked but it no longer exists, check this one or google: http://rxezlqu.wordpress.com/2009/07...rub-partition/ It uses Legacy Grub so you will need to have a Linux distro which uses it, basically anything non-Ubuntu or Slackware. If you do the separate Grub partition, you will need to be sure to install to the mbr. |
I'd recommend Grub4dos instead, since it can be installed from Windows and live on an NTFS partition.
Here are instructions to install to MBR from Windows: http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/...s.htm#windows4 Then open notepad and copy/paste: Code:
