Re: grub install with cygwin

I have two disks in my box that are non linux. On one disk is found Windows 7 and am having issues installing
grub that comes with cygwin.


How can I contact the person that compiled / packaged grub for cygwin for a fix for this?

It does not create the default /etc/defaults/grub file

The /etc/default/grub file is not created - it is read by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig if present.



and there are a number of other things I am having issues with that deal with
the packaging and execution of grub.



Please be more specific. Installation failure? Boot failure? No boot menu but grub prompt? Does grub ls command list partitions correctly? Does manual boot via grub shell work?

It is always a good idea to first create and test a grub rescue CD to check compatibility, see
