As the name bootloader implies it is meant to start some operating
system at boot time. What is the reason for this question?
Anyway, you first need to partition your disk (fdisk), then create a
file system (mk2efs) and mount that newly created fs somewhere. Then you
can store GRUB. But you need an operating system somewhere...
Oliver.

i m doing it for just studying purpose. i got your point but the question is how to store/install GRUB on this harddisk. is it like an rpm or i have to get some software and to compile it. Regards Azeem
