You are configuring a dual-boot configuration with the Windows and Linux operating system. The configuration will use the NTLOADER bootloader. Where should you install the GRUB bootloader?
  1. In the MBR
  2. In the Linux boot partition
  3. In the Windows boot partition
  4. In the BIOS
Explanation
Answer - B - You should install the GRUB bootloader in the Linux boot partition.

Key Takeaway: When using the NTLOADER bootloader, you should install the GRUB bootloader in the Linux boot partition. The GRUB bootloader is divided into separate chunks called stages. The Stage 1 is usually stored in the MBR. This stage points to the location of Stage 2. The Stage 2 is stored in a disk partition. When loaded by Stage 1, Stage 2 presents a graphical menu on the screen that allows the user to select the kernel image that should be loaded.
