   GRUB2 replaces the DOS/Win bootloader. It searches the disk(s)
   to see what's there are creates its own menu entries.

   Problem - if you get too aggressive with Win fixes it may
   wipe out GRUB2 and re-install the Win bootloader. M$ is
   convinced it owns the compuverse. However there are some
   rescue utilities that can re-install GRUB2 afterwards
   without you having to install some kind of new Linux.
