Booting GRU B on a VBR

Hello Klaus: I always enjoy your column more than anything else in the magazine. It is accurate and useful.

Background: I had a Windows 7 system with one big hard disk of about 1TB. This is not a GPT disk, it is a traditional MBR/ BIOS disk. Of course, there were already three partitions in use on the disk when I got it home from the store.
