Greetings,
Grub2 missed Microsoft Windows 8.1 on the internal hard disk during the
install of Debian 7.1 to an external hard disk. It failed to detect
another operating system in the mbr and was primed to over write it. A
trap waiting to be sprung.
This was on a Toshiba C50D-A with the UEFI settings all disabled and so
on in the "Bios" so it would boot non UEFI media. Does that properly.
The install worked well and Debian booted and worked well except for
cosmetic screen effects when it changes environments. All AMD processor
et al chips, no Intel or NVidia.
No tweaks or additional action to get Debian going.
The external hard disk is a USB3 unit connected to the notebook's USB3
port. Seat of the pants impression of overall performance doing web
browsing and word processing is no noticeable waits. USB handling has
improved.
Cheers.
