Sorry, I will elaborate: - you said that (of course) certain files should be present for os-prober to find the operation system - that makes me realise that I always manually installed ntfs-3g, and I installed not too long ago the latest 'advanced release' (= 2010.3.6AR2) - thus, I first reinstalled ntfs-3g from the repo's (2009.4.4). Running 'os-prober' after this shows W7 again - I installed the latest ntfs-3g 'non-advanced' (2010.3.6) (as the newer ntfs-3g drivers provide a lot of speed improvements and provide bug fixes). Again, running os-prober showed W7. - To be sure, I reinstalled the advanced release and as I expected, W7 did not show up.
Above steps lead me to the conclusion that ntfs-3g is the broken part on my computer. Below is the changelog for the 2010.3.6AR2 release ( http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/changelog.html): - developped "lowntfs-3g", a driver variant using the fuse low-level interface - fixed a compilation issue with uClibc - fixed modifying the read-only flag on a directory - fixed bad error checking when closing a compressed file - concealed files marked as "hidden" unless option show_hid_files is set - marked files whose name has a dot initial as "hidden" if option hide_dot_files is set - redefined a default user mapping (a few changes in mount options) - enabled case insensitive file names - fixed a bug in ACL inheritance I can imagine that either the case sensitive file names or the changes to hidden files make os-prober fail. This topic on the forums of Tuxera could be of help: http://tuxera.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5450&sid=e5e647d726d094c09fe6faa28510527c On my W7 partition, I have (with these capitals) and with ntfs-3g 2010.3.6: /Boot/BCD (see attachment) /bootmgr With 2010.3.6AR2, no Boot directory is shown and also /bootmgr is not available (also if I enable 'show hidden files' in Nautilus). If you ahve more questions, please ask. and feel free to set the status to whatever you think is appropriate.
