I would use the 'dry-run' option..os-prober is the part that looks for all the other OS's installed so grub can build a multiboot scenario.

I use Debian with Win7 as a guest..runs fine..caveat, I have an OEM Win7 disk., greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
