Okuji, As requested I downloaded and built GRUB from the CVS repository at 10:15 pm (British Summer Time) tonight. Including the debug statement and booting into Windows from a GRUB boot floppy gave the additional output:
Reading the offset 0x80 in the drive 0x0 and the boot completed successfully. When booting from GRUB installed on the hard drive I obtained the message: Reading the offset 0x80 in the drive 0x1a0b9a4 and a new error message which read: Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS regards Graham -----Original Message----- From: Yoshinori K.

Sure. First, please get the current version from the CVS. Then compile it and test it both with a floppy and with a hard disk. When testing it, turn on the debug mode by running the command "debug". Now the command "boot" should show more messages, like "reading the offset 0x???? in the drive 0x??". Let me know what is displayed.
