Re: GRUB after clonezilla

[Aharon Schkolnik]

I think the first issue is: why doesn't grub2-mkconfig create an entry for the OS ? I don't think the two possibilities your raise address this issue. On 08/26/2014 06:16 PM, E.S.

I used clonezilla to copy a NTFS (Vista) partition to a new disk. There were no problems with the  copy, and the new partition looks fine. However, I can not get GRUB to boot from the new partition. grub2-mkconfig does not create a menu entry for it. I created an entry by hand using the following code: menuentry "Vista" { set root='(hd0,2)' chainloader +1 } But, when I try to boot from  that entry, I get the error: invalid signature. I ran bootinfoscript, and I saw the following: sda3: __________________________________________________________________________     File system:       ntfs     Boot sector type:  Windows Vista/7: NTFS     Boot sector info:  According to the info in the boot sector, sda3 starts                        at sector 230686720. But according to the info from                        fdisk, sda3 starts at sector 211814400.     Operating System:  Windows Vista     Boot files:        /Windows/System32/winload.exe So I used testdisk to fix the boot sector, and now: sda3: __________________________________________________________________________     File system:       ntfs     Boot sector type:  Windows XP: NTFS     Boot sector info:  No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.     Operating System:  Windows Vista     Boot files:        /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe Yet, grub2-mkconfig still doesn't create an entry for the Vista partition. Can anyone help ?
