I'd like to install BURG but I don't want it to overwrite my MBR. That's because I've got two bootloader in my system : 1) Default Windows 7 bl in my MBR 2) Grub in /dev/sda2

With the first power button, it will boot as Grub is not installed, so it simply loads Windows, with the second button it boots from /dev/sda2, loading Grub and then Kubuntu.

Now I want to replae Grub with Burg. I've installe Burg with

burg-install /dev/sda2 --force

because I don't want my MBR to be overwritten (pressing the first power button MUST load Windows and avoid showing any sign of Linux things).

Setup was completed without errors, and everything seems to work fine : if I open burg-manager it loads my settings, allowing me to change them and to test everything with burg-emu (that works as I want to).

So, everything seems fine, Burg's installed, I've changed my settings but..

If I use the second power button, it still loads Grub! (Even a different version from the default Kubuntu one).

So, here's the question : How can I replace GRUB that's on /dev/sda2 with BURG and WITHOUT writing it to my MBR?

Thanks :)
