Are you sure that:
a. the error you get isn't coming from winload.exe
b. vista may not be capable from booting from an area beyond X MB from the
beginning of a disk....
Hi.
I used clonezilla to copy a NTFS (Vista) partition to a new disk.
There were no problems with the copy, and the new partition looks fine.
However, I can not get GRUB to boot from the new partition.
grub2-mkconfig does not create a menu entry for it.
menuentry "Vista" {
set root='(hd0,2)'
chainloader +1
}
But, when I try to boot from that entry, I get the error: invalid
signature.

Operating System: Windows Vista

Yet, grub2-mkconfig still doesn't create an entry for the Vista partition.
Can anyone help ?
TIA.
