Once you select your language...

Type c.

You'll have a console:

For winxp/2000/alike:

ddbr (hd0) (cd)/boot/sgd/brs/winnt.bin

For win98,win95,winme:

ddbr (hd0) (cd)/boot/sgd/brs/win9x.bin



This only modifies the MBR but, the good thing, is that the partition
table is NOT modified in any way.


The command will soon be available inside the SGD gui.

Can you please test it and see how it works?
I've tested it myself inside qemu and then made an hexedit to /dev/hda
and to /dev/hdb (modified and unmodified hard disks) and there are some
changes and when the winnt or win9x is there the win98 OS boots!

I haven't checked the partition table but it is supposed not to be
modified because I do not tell grub to modify it so... it does not have
to modify it. :)


You also have a dos boot record and a syslinux boot record on the brs
folder if you need them.

I'll probably also work on the equivalent of fixmbr but for partitions
which it is useful when backuping and then restoring win98 partitions
from linux.
