hi Guys:
Refer to the link : http://puppylinux.org/main/How%20NOT%20 ... galInstall
Puppy can be install using FRUGAL method along with windows xp, but since MS has changed there booting method in windows 7 so it is not possible to setup a GRUB.
I am sure there will be some technique to setup GRUB2 as i think that GRUB1 will not work with Windows 7.
Any help n this regards will highly appreciated.

I've never had a problem dual booting with Grub 1 and Windows.
I only use full install to a partition.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.

and doesn't involve editing boot.ini.
If you don't have some experience with Grub, I advise
looking at the Grub4dos dual boot methods.
In any case; the first thing one should do is burn a Win7
"repair disk" and make a backup "image" of Win7 to another
drive, to be safe.
It's easy to do from within Windows7.

The easiest way to frugally install puppy beside windows (including windows 7) is by using the windows installer. You can download a version here.
The installer doesn't require you to use bcdedit (boot.ini for windows 7), and doesn't change the master boot record.

hi noryb009:
I tested the Windows Installer of shinobar on ur windows installer link which

Best of luck to u n shinobar for such a gr8 work.
keep it up.
