Depending on your create methodology, something of importance on the two old partitions may have disappeared in the copy process that only mattered after installing Grub. Did you shrink them on purpose? If so, how? Otherwise, they look to have been truncated and may need chkdsk run on them, and still may have been destroyed.
I didn't shrink anything. I moved to a larger drive and expanded the partitions. I used the Windows partition tool to enlarge the Windows partition and GParted, the Linux ones. The extended and swap partitions were created fresh, rather than move and expand.
Unrelated to the truncations, with Grub on MBR I would expect the following to not matter, but who knows? Old disk has boot flag on extended, while new has it on NTFS. Maybe Windows 7 doesn't like that and its loader goes into an endless loop?
No, that was just me trying to change it from 4 to 2. I have no idea why the extented partition was bootable, rather than a primary or logical partition. Changing that didn't make any difference. Grub works fine for booting into Linux. It's just Window that I can't get to work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
