Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-11
Severity: wishlist

Hello

I would like to use windows XP without emulation (so no wine, nor qmeu, or vmware or others) 
so directly to start with 100% power microsoft windows XP at normal speed and performances

- well you would tell me : dual boot man !

- well ok, but I do not want to install a NTFS and keep the RAW image of my qmeu and use it from teh Boot Grub 
that launches it like dual booting but will write all those stuff into RAW image located into my ext3

please could you code that.,.. it is not that hard in principle, with using all today's tools.

Thank you in advnance !

Kind regards
Y.
