Q

Will GRUB allow me to hibernate Linux and activate another ?operating_systems (such as Windows XP) that I hibernated earlier, i.e. a ?DualHibernate rather than a DualBoot?

A

Nothing will prevent you to hibernating (GRUB isn't aware that your host is suspended). Howerever, make sure you don't mount the same partition (RW) under any two suspended OS !

Q

Is there a way to install GRUB in the MasterBootRecord from DOS or Windows XP, i.e. a utility similar to rawrite.exe or fdisk.exe that write a GRUB MBR? What I want here is to install Linux without having a bootable floppy.

A

There is a win32 Version of GRUB, i used it to install linux from Windows 2000 , but i am not sure what exactly the source is ;-) you can download the exe at: grubwin32

Just unzip grubwin32 to c:\ then run c:\boot\grub\w32grub This would patch the necessary files(under XP, not linux). Then add :

 c:\boot\stage1="GRUB"

to c:\boot.ini

And you now have a grub boot loader on your XP system.
