Well, this one's real bad. I'm running Lucid and WinXP Home on an Acer
Aspire One D250. It doesn't matter if I use GRUB2 or BURG (which is
based on GRUB2, as we know), anytime I boot windows, it corrupts my
bootloader and I get this bug rearing it's ugly head. As far as I can
tell, there is nothing installed in Windows that should be reading or
writing to the MBR (I removed all the crapware that Acer calls their
"empowering technology" and my antivirus, AVG free, does not scan the
MBR).

A similar setup on my desktop (an Acer Aspire running Lucid and Win7 Pro
x64) has no issues whatsoever.

This is certainly frustrating, I don't want to have to constantly repair
or reinstall GRUB. Looks like I'm goin' back to grub-legacy, unless
anyone else has any ideas?
