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.
