grubinst-1.1-2008-01-01

1. Introdution This utility is used to install GRUB4DOS boot code to the MBR or partition boot sector of hard disk or image file. grubinst.exe is a console mode program. It mimics the behavior of the DOS/Linux utility bootlace.com from TinyBit's GRUB4DOS package. But unlike bootlace.com, grubinst is writen completely in C and can be compiled to run in OSs like Windows NT/2K/XP, Linux and FreeBSD. grubinst_gui.exe is a GUI frontend to grubinst.exe. It provides a friendly interface to users who are not familiar whith the command line environment. Currently, grubinst_gui.exe only runs in Windows OSs. Please note that these utilities only install MBR, it DOES NOT copy GRLDR to your partition or configure menu.lst, neither does it modify boot.ini to enable booting from the NT boot manager. To know more about such things, please refers to readme file from the GRUB4DOS package. Also note that the current version of grubinst doesn't support modify the MBR of hard disk in Windows 95/98/ME. For those OSs, bootlace.com should be used instead. 2.
