Hi.<br>
<br>
I used clonezilla to copy a NTFS (Vista) partition to a new disk.<br>
There were no problems with the copy, and the new partition looks
fine.<br>
However, I can not get GRUB to boot from the new partition.<br>
<br>
grub2-mkconfig does not create a menu entry for it.<br>
<br>
I created an entry by hand using the following code:<br>
<br>
menuentry "Vista" {<br>
set root='(hd0,2)'<br>
chainloader +1<br>
}<br>
<br>
But, when I try to boot from that entry, I get the error: invalid
signature.<br>
<br>
I ran bootinfoscript, and I saw the following:<br>
<br>
<br>
sda3:
__________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
File system: ntfs<br>
Boot sector type: Windows Vista/7: NTFS<br>
Boot sector info: According to the info in the boot sector,
sda3 starts <br>
at sector 230686720. But according to the
info from <br>
fdisk, sda3 starts at sector 211814400.<br>
Operating System: Windows Vista<br>
Boot files: /Windows/System32/winload.exe<br>
<br>
<br>
So I used testdisk to fix the boot sector, and now:<br>
<br>
sda3:
__________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
File system: ntfs<br>
Boot sector type: Windows XP: NTFS<br>
Boot sector info: No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.<br>
Operating System: Windows Vista<br>
Boot files: /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Yet, grub2-mkconfig still doesn't create an entry for the Vista
partition.<br>
<br>
<br>
Can anyone help ?<br>
<br>
TIA.<br>
