The initial stage of all bootloaders (regardless of operating system) must be placed in the MBR of the drive. The code there will either load the operating system directly (in the case of older ones like in MS-DOS), or launch a second stage that is more interactive. The second stage of GRUB in Linux, or NTLDR in Windows, is usually located on the first boot partition. This bootloader can then usually chainload other bootloaders found on other partitions, or load a kernel.

How can you Install Linux in my Windows 7 platform?
Most Linux distros will by default install themselves secondary to Windows, BUT you MUST FIRST make a separate partition on your HD for Linux to install on, for the install erases everything that is already on that partition. How to do that is found in your Windows Help. If that's a problem for you, many Linux distros can be run from a CD or DVD, without installation to the HD, so you can try them out to get the feel of them. Knoppix is one such distro. If you want something as like to Windows as possible, try Lubuntu or its parent Ubuntu. But be aware that Linux is NOT a free windows. If you are a command line junkie like myself, I recommend Slackware. If you are into designing and building your own OS based on the Linux kernel, try Arch. In short, the various Linux distros (or flavors) are all different to one another, each having their own design philosophy. Deciding which one you want will be your major problem. Google 'linux reviews'.
