That is *vastly* more complicated. He's already blown away all prior partitions, and restored Windows. Yet he can't boot Windows because of this 440 bytes of grub remnant. By removing just those 440 bytes, his problem should be fixed. He can't re-install grub. He can install a fresh grub, but he'd need a Windows binary to do that. Grub2 doesn't install itself like old grub did. Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
