I browsed the archives of the mailing list of parted and discovered that this is a known bug of parted. There were even flame wars about it. This is going to be quiet unfortunate to many people who will try to install Debian on dual-boot systems (#258880). This is bug 115980 (will not boot to windows partition using grub menu) in bugzilla.redhat.com: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115980 This is the starting message of the thread in the mailinglist of parted: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2004-07/msg00065.html And this is the reaction by the upstream maintainer: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2004-08/msg00001.html Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
