Grub broken on Q4OS 32bits, no live cd to repair...

Hello everyone,

2 months ago, i installed Q4OS 32bits on an old computer ( Athlon XP 1800+ / 512megs, no usb boot ).
I wanted to install Freedos, it worked fine ( of course ) but now I only have Freedos at boot, no more GRUB.
I can't access to Q4OS and there is no Live CD 32 bits to repair GRUB, only install CD...
I think this is a big mistake...

very hard to find a linux distribution for "real" old computer...
most of them require great cpu (P4 or more), at least 1gb (recommended 2gb),usb boot, and lot of gigs on the hard disk
so they are not for "old computers", only "old modern computers"...

thanks

You can use for example Debian live https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ to fix Grub
