How does the rescue FD/USB work?
If you select 'Find menu on HDD', you can boot up the PC with existing Grub menu. It can be of Grub4Dos or legacy Grub.
(The recent Grub4DosConfig has another menu for Grub2.) ...

QuickSET LiveCD would be great tool for repairing BootManagers if there is a procedure(s).
I did see this!

Could your QuickSET LiveCD Grub4DOS AND (as well) your "howto" discussion be expanded to include your LiveCD?

1. Windows has been installed but corrupted MBR and/or PBR.
   Grub4Dos directly chain to the bootmgr or ntldr.
2. Legacy grub has been installed but corrupted MBR and/or the grub itself.
   Grub4Dos reads the menu.lst of the legacy grub.
3. Grub2 has been installed but corrupted MBR.
   Grub4Dos chains to the Grub2.

...when clicking to download a pdf file, there came a 1st dialog box asking whether to save/save as/cancel/open;
if click on open, then a dialog box "Encrypted Document" asks for password.
if click on save, then the well saved pdf file can be normaly opened whithout any password- nor encryption- warning.
I installed Panzerkopf forum member's "gv.gz" (see link here after)

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 15d6e39222

but without any change.
On another PC + lupq-509 + Panserkopf's gv.gz + Firefox browser, the same pdf document is opened without any warning...

Is the one included in LUPQ-511 or is Barry's original one ?
