As I said if you want to have grub2 with your Windows entry then install os-prober and run update-grub again. Then it should show up again. It doestn't at all use menu.lst. If you want to revert to grub-legecy you need to run grub-install again, so the MBR gets replaced with the grub-legacy bootcode instead of the grub2. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
