squeeze / amd64 fresh install on a Thinkpad X61s
Windows 7 is already on the machine
The installer told me it found Vista and asked if I want to install grub
to the MBR. I agreed to install MBR.
On rebooting, the grub menu appears and Debian is the only option.
Checking the partition table with fdisk, I can see that Win 7 is still
there.
Try running 'update-grub'.
I have seen a number of cases where on install it doesn't detect windows,
but running update-grub works and detects windows.
It seems that during install it has a bug in some cases.
I had already run update-grub, but that hasn't made any difference
I can boot Windows by pressing `c' in the grub menu, and using the commands
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
boot
The machine is a fresh install:
- Windows 7 (64 bit) fresh install onto blank disk
- Debian (amd64) installed from squeeze beta1 DVD
Is there anything else I can check to find the root cause of the
problem? I don't mind doing more test installs on this machine, it is
dedicated for that purpose.
