then copy GRLDR and MENU.LST to where boot.ini exists, usually c:\.

c:\grldr
c:\menu.lst
c:\boot.ini

are the three files listed above in the proper location? (c:\ in this example.)

to make any usb disks bootable, use BOOTICE (win32) to install your preferred bootloader.
edit the configfile (menu.lst for grub4dos) accordingly.

@tikbalang
we checked again your manual install advice and found out.. the menu.lst after creation was memorized as menu.lst.txt with the window programm. We changed the name to menu.lst and everything runs well now.
THANKS.
Now, my colleague is playing around with TCL,Slitaz,Knoppix,Puppy,PartedMagic on his lenovo netbook during his holidays for the next 2 weeks (lets see if his wife is going mad ..;-).
I will make his TCL setup for 3G, Openoffice, Flash/Webbrowser next time.

Hi floppy
If you insist on editing Linux text files using Windows, especially config files, you should run
  dos2unix   on them to strip out the carriage returns Windows adds to them.

you are right. I forgot to write that after renaming menu.lst.txt into menu.lst (in windows), we booted the netbook with TCL and a CF+USB adapter. Then we edited the menu.lst (with fluff editor) and deleted the carriage-return before we booted again the netbook with grub4dos. Perhaps leaving the carriage-return would have ennoyed the grub4dos + menu.lst. In any case my colleague is totally wondering the whole linux OSs. I think we have now somebody in this world, who is changing the side of the road.
