I hope that made some sense.

Let me know if you need more clarification.
It sounds like i need to have the GRUB loader already in place, so that the harddrive is already initially booting from it. In my case i have partition magic installed and it is my boot manager. And currently i has one primary win95 parition and several logical partition. Onto D: i have placed all knoppix files and w32grub files.

I guess under these circumstances it will not work.

Does partition magic support chain loading from file like NTLDR does ? If not, w32grub won't help you. I did write the code to install stage1 into the boot sector but have disabled it.

If you have win95, the easiest way is to use loadlin which can also boot load KNOPPIX and once you are in linux, you can install GRUB/LILO to one of the partition which I believe partition magic would be happy to boot.
