First, please don't send html email to help-grub (or to most other technical mailing lists). It often makes it more difficult to read and in this case has messed with the proper indentation of replied messages with '>'.

This last sentence is unclear, but what the boot info script output shows is that each drive has grub installed to its mbr, and every drive's grub is configured to read a grub.cfg contained on their own drive, i.e. every time you change which drive is booted from the BIOS you are changing which grub.cfg is read. > Here is the bootinfo report You'll notice that there are a total of 5 menu entries relating to Windows from the various grub.cfg files. From sdc1's /boot/grub/grub.cfg we have: menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd1,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 439C8E7F4DCFF3BB chainloader +1 } menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda5)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root CE80A4F080A4E067 chainloader +2 } >From sdc6's /boot/grub/grub.cfg we have: menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { savedefault insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root F64836B14836710B chainloader +1 } menuentry "Microsoft Windows Seven (sda1)" { set root=(hd1,1) chainloader +1 } menuentry "Microsoft Windows Seven (sdb1)" { set root=(hd2,1) chainloader +1 } Every one of these is different, pointing to a different partition. (The last two menu entries are manually added ones which don't search by UUID, making them unreliable) My guess is that the user is simply confusing menu entries which have very similar titles but which are not in fact the same. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
