Hello!
I have a Wheezy system shared with MS XP. GRUB is not in MBR but in
Debian partition installed. Not recommended I know but basically
works. Until last upgrade when my GRUB loader only writes GRUB then
halts. Or at least not continue loading. No errors just stops. I have
tried latest (7.6.0) Debian install disc Recovery function to
reinstall grub with grub-install /dev/sda2 without success. Still just
a GRUB line on screen when Debian partition is active. When I switch
active partition back to XP it runs. I am able to mount sda2 from
Debian installer and there is no fsck error.
So my MBR is good and there is some error in sda2 partition loader
which I cannot recover with grub-install. Any idea where to go then?
Bye,

Why not try installing grub in the MBR? It usually can boot both Windows
XP and Linux without problems. If you were using a version of Windows
that required UEFI then you night have a problem, but not with XP.
