Copy C:\Grub4dos\grub.exe to the root of your boot drive/device. Boot from the device and wait for the DOS prompt, then type grub.exe [ENTER] to load grub4dos. If using Windows 9x, press the [F8] key to enter the safe mode boot menu and choose option Command prompt only or Safe mode command prompt only, then type grub.exe [ENTER].

Critics of such modifications often appeal to the professional or social consequences—the fear of judgment, the closed door of employment, the stare of the stranger. This is not an invalid concern, for the face is our primary social interface. To modify it permanently is to willingly carry a sign that says, “My values are not your values.” And yet, this friction is precisely the point. The courage required to wear a true facial mod in a conformist society is a form of radical honesty. It is a filter in reverse: instead of hiding imperfections to attract the many, it broadcasts a specific set of values to attract the few. It repels the judgmental and draws the curious. In this way, the mod becomes a social winnowing tool, ensuring that the relationships which survive its gaze are built on a foundation of genuine acceptance, not superficial politeness.

True Mods Lifestyle and Entertainment is more than just a hobby—it is a global subculture that bridges the gap between digital creativity and real-world expression. At its core, this movement is about taking something standard and making it extraordinary. Whether it is a video game, a classic car, or a home workspace, the "true mod" philosophy centers on personalization, high-performance, and community. The Digital Playground: Modding in Gaming
A sample config.sys is included in the Grub4dos download, this can be used to replace config.sys on your boot device - if using the sample file you will be prompted to press the [space] bar to start Grub4dos.
Autoexec.bat can also be used to launch Grub4dos - simply edit the file and add entry grub.exe.
To install grub4dos code to a hard disks MBR via DOS, copy C:\Grub4dos\BOOTLACE.COM to the root of a DOS bootable drive/disk. Now reboot your PC and boot into DOS. If using Windows 9x BOOTLACE.COM can be executed from a dos box (start > run > type command [enter]).
To install Grub4dos code to the MBR of the first hard disk (usually the first hard disk set to boot within the BIOS settings) use command -
To install Grub4dos code to the MBR of the second hard disk use command -
To avoid installing Grub4dos to the wrong disk use a third party tool such as MBRWizD.exe (available here) to check the disk order. Copy MBRWizD.exe to the root of the DOS bootable device and type MBRWizD.exe /List - you should be able to identify the correct disk from the attributes outputted by the command (to install to disk 0 - use command BOOTLACE.COM 0x80; to install to disk 1 - use command BOOTLACE.COM 0x81; etc.). You will also need to copy grldr and menu.lst to the root of a (supported) local drive/disk.
Using the Grubinst package, it is possible to install Grub4dos code to the partition boot sector. Although this feature is documented in bootlace.com, attempting to install to the bootsector (using the command bootlace.com --install-partition=0 0x80) results in the following -
Use instead the DOS version of grubinst tool - at the time of writing this guide the most recent version available is version is grubinst-1.1-bin-dos-2008-01-01 (file name grbins16.exe). Use command syntax grbins16.exe -p=n [device] or grbins16.exe --install-partition=n [device] (where n = partition number, starting from 0 for first partition. e.g. grbins16.exe -p=0 (hd0). If using Windows 9x, run grbins16.exe from a dos box (start > run > type command [enter]).
grldr must be copied to the partition on which the bootsector was installed, and the partition must be active. See here for Grubinst download.
