There is a hard disk on my laptop with four primary partitions, and three systems are installed as follows:
sda1: WIN7
sda2: /(Ubuntu)
sda3: /home(Ubuntu)
sda4: WINxp

Both Windows use GNUgrub to boot respectively. In XP and Win7, the sda4 partition is both displayed as drive D. But when I copied the grldr file to the root directory of the XP drive, modified the boot.ini file, and added
D:\grldr="GRUB4DOS" to save, then restarted, I couldn't enter grub.
Changed it to
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\grldr="GRUB4DOS" to save, restarted, still couldn't enter grub.
But on another computer where XP is installed on drive C, it can be successfully booted. I don't know why? Please, DX, give me some pointers

In boot.ini, only c: can be used, and there are no other drive letters. c: refers to the partition where boot.ini is located

Booting into GRUB from NT requires that grldr must be placed in the bootable disk.

Thanks to the 2nd floor, I tried changing it to C: and it can boot successfully!
