Description

Safely dual boot Windows and Linux without touching the Windows MBR.

Grub2Win installs to Windows 8, Windows 7, XP, 2000 or Vista. It boots native, open source GNU grub version 2.00 code. Everything is contained in one 7 MB directory on your Windows C: drive.

The simple Windows GUI and instructions will help you get grub2 booting quickly and safely. Messages and help can be displayed in your native language.

You can select from a nearly unlimited number of OS choices at boot time. Samples for Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, Mint and Free BSD are included.

Grub2Win comes with several graphic themes that include boot time animation and scroll bar OS selection.

Over 30,000 people worldwide have downloaded Grub2Win since it was first released in December 2010.

    I would provide you with my thoughts about grub2win, however unless I get some feedback on my questions in the forum I would not dare to use it; reason: I am too busy and have no time to newly setup my two PCs.
