How can I take a screenshot of the GRUB menu?

Question

How can I take a screenshot like this?

alt text

I tried pressing Prnt Scrn, and then trying to paste it in MS Paint after booting to Vista, but it did not work.

Print Screen will never work because a "clipboard" is an OS-level feature (and even higher level - X11 - on Linux). — u1686_grawity, Sep 11, 2010 at 21:47

Create a Linux virtual machine with VirtualBox, VMware, etc. and screen capture it from your host operating system.

yes, I thought of that. Actually the OS is already installed (not on a virtual machine), and I needed to post screenshots at this question.

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't any hardware-level clipboard and likely never will be ;( but VMs have it good in terms of cross-OS clipboards. (I always consider it cheating xD)
