(MBR).

Picture 1.8 Boot loader installation interface
Press <OK> to continue.
The boot loader will be installed in MBR by default. If an operating system is
previously installed on the same disk, then the new boot loader will cover the
previous data in MBR and the new MBR does not include the previous operation
systems thus they cannot be booted normally.
So if another operating system is previously installed on the disk, we recommend the
user to tick the check box and install the boot loader in the first boot sector of the
system partition.
