[Bug 26058] Re: after boot into Windows XP, grub menu is not displayed and computer reboot

 

Please close the bug.

I think that this same bug was already closed in Debian but I cannot
find the bug itself.

Whatever is working MBR is not GNU/Linux or GRUB, it is a program,
usually an antivirus which it is found on Windows.

The user should be able, should know how to use this software so that it
recognises the new mbr (and next sectors) as a valid one and saves it as
the default one so that it does not get overwritten.

So... as long as this is not a grub error, but the user not knowing how
to use his own software the bug should be closed. Now the question is...

Should Ubuntu installation manual take care of these boot-sector-aware
programs/antispyware/antivirus and document the steps that an user
should do before and after installing Ubuntu regarding the conflictive
software?

I am not going to answer the question.
