Hi there,
Having added the below to /etc/grub.d/40_custom I now receive an 'invalid signature' error when booting XP from the grub2 bootloader:
menuentry "Windows XP" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader (hd0,1)+1
Unlike the previous posters, I am using PGP WDE which could be causing this issues. Below is the output of RESULTS.txt. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
