Missing Windows entry
Made a clean Squeeze install on a Samsung N145 10-inch netbook using the
latest netinstall-image on an USB-stick. The OEM Windows was shrinked,
and the disk prepared for Debian before install was started. During
install the installer detected Windows, and offered itself
to add it to the boot menu. I agreed to this, putting grub at MBR
(/dev/sda), but at first boot the Windows entry was missing. A quick
"update-grub" and "grub-install" from within the finished installation
fixed the issue.
The Windows version was "Windows 7 Starter", and it was configured with
a 100mb boot partition (/dev/sda1 - ntfs) and C: on /dev/sda2, also
ntfs. Debian root at /dev/sda5, swap at /dev/sda6 and /home
at /dev/sda7.
No big thing, but an obstacle for lesser experienced.
