Is it just me?....
On more than 3 computers, i got some
Windows
(XP, 98SE...) that won't boot after a GRUB installation... Or modification... Or Removal...
Nothing was able to get back the
Windows
boot loader alive... Even the fdisk /mbr (for Win98SE) or the fixmbr / fixboot from the WinXP recovery mode of the CD!!!
I also tried to install lilo over grub and that's worse.... Lilo start ok... but grub keep's starting after lilo!! Argh!
GRUB's really a pain!
But in my 6+ years of experience with Linux, I NEVER HAD a problem like this with the EASY-AND-SIMPLE LILO bootloader...!!
You want to erase it... no problemo... You make modification to it... no problemo... You want to do a fdisk /mbr to recover the bad old Win98SE boot loader... no problemo!
So I ask this question: Is it just me or GRUB do it a strange way?!
