Updated: Just want to say that selection / deselection of Grub2 on LiveCD i386 v.1.4.4 works as should. The only issue I have found with dual boot setup failure with Grub2 / Q4OS install is the below post:
To help others so they won't spend 4 hours like I did trying to figure why GRUB died after a Dual Boot installation of Q4OS
If you set up multiple boot partitions make sure and not to place any boot partition in an Extended Partition.
GRUB 2 does not support Embedded Partitions.
Q4OS (as well as most other Linux flavors) only supports a total of 4 Primary Partitions (3 Primary + 1 Extended = 4)
However, you can have up to 16 partitions with a total of 4 Primary + 1 Extended with logical partitions within the Extended Partition.
In any case, standard naming conventions of /dev/sda1 --> /dev/sda16 limits you to 16 total partitions.
This is okay for GRUB2 BOOT LOADER
/dev/sda (hard drive 0)
Primary Ext4 /dev/sda1
Primary Ext4 /dev/sda2
Primary Swap /dev/sd3
Extended --> Logical /dev/sd4 ---> /dev/sda16
The Swap partition in the above schema does not have to be the last partition to work correctly.
This is NOT a proper Partition schema for GRUB2
/dev/sda (hard drive 0)
Primary Ext4 /dev/sda1 (assigned as / root)
//Extended
Logical Partition Ext4 /dev/sda2 (assigned as / root)
Swap /dev/sd3

(Anyone is welcome to correct me on this subject as I am using 3rd party references that appear to be correct after researching subject)
Thanks,
