HD Install :: Hw to install the Grub on the partition of DSL ?

Hi Volks,

I am a absolut Linux Newbie. I have installed DSL on a HD Partition, among Xp and a other Linux, to play around with it.

But, the intsall routine of DSL allows to install the grub only in the MBR. After it i cant start XP or the other Linux. And i must to reset the MBR with a dos Bootcd and fdisk /mbr. And after this i cant start my DSL from HD.

Is it possible to install the grub of DSL in the same partition of it, like by the other Linux i have installed?

And please, can anybody tell me how?? Best Step by Step ?

Thank you very much for helping !!

Their are a couple of things you can do:
1. Check out Grub4Dos - this way you will be able to load grub from the NTLDR (the bootloader that comes with windows NT/2000/XP), and you will not be dependent on grub to load Windows.
2. Put windows in the Grub menu.
3. lilo
*. their are other options but those are unnecessary...

Since you're new to linux, Grub4Dos is best since you will be able to change its settings from windows:

Oh ,that sounds good !!
I will download it and try it out.

Thank you very much.
