As far as I know, it won't, but I'm not an MS Guru. Someone mentioned Norton Anti Virus (and IIRC McAffee) might have auto-repaired the boot sector thinking it might have been changed due to virus activity. I do remember having this "fixed" for me a few times before finding the setting to not "fix" it. Let me clarify one thing, you did the Grub install and then re-booted, and it went into XP without showing the Grub menu, correct?
Norton System Works '06 edition was roundly criticized for this since it also affected American tax software which also demanded changes to the MBR.
Lets hope '07 corrects this. Dumb idea to use the boot sector for anything but booting systems.
Why would a tax program have to change the MBR??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
