This list is about GRUB 2, which doesn't share code with GRUB 1 and
therefore with grub4dos.  So I suggest that you look for a more
appropriate list.

Also, I have never heard of utfs partitions.  It may be a typo.

If asking if something is possible, it may be helpful to report if you
have tried it, and if you did, what kind of error you got, with the
exact messages and versions of the involved software.

Oops, it should be ntfs.

Thanks again.  In my case, I want to do that thing with grub4dos and
I'll try it first.  Thanks again.

FYI, could someone please give me some hints on the maillist/newsgroup
aimed for grub4dos?

GRUB 2 works well at chainloading from NTLDR, it's just not documented.

Perhaps someone would be interested in writing a wiki page?  One can
easily figure it out by checking the source code for win32-loader
(see http://goodbye-microsoft.com/).
