Why not ask at Grub4DosConfig and tell which version you have usedjplt wrote:Hello all,...?
I installed and I am using grub4dos on a ext4 sda1 partition with ubuntu lucid and several frugal puppies. The grldr is on sda1 with menu.lst. It works fine.mikeb wrote:Ok I was close lol..... forgot about the versions...
explanations ..certainly...
the most recent grub4dos can boot ext4 partitions but the mbr cannot boot grldr that exists on a ext4 partition.....hope thats clearer.

I think the mbr bootcode mikeb refers to is 'wee' as referred to here:
