I understand you are a Mageia distro user Barry.
According to the link below Mageia 5 installs Grub2-efi by default. Could it be that Grub2-efi is having problems with older Grub2-mbr boot method used in older OS installations or your hardware does not have have the efi bios feature? Is the tool grub-mkconfig avaliable? if so run 'grub-mkconfig -o test.txt' them examine test.txt to see if it has worked as you intend. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Grub2-efi_and_Mageia Cheers Ross Drummond On 23.01.2017 19:36, Barry wrote: > Hi All, the heading understates my problem - I can no longer boot my > desktop!!! > > .....................................
