I'd say it is a certainty you already have os-prober on the system because the install pulls it in together with the grub-common package. The command is in /usr/bin. Check. You have discovered the terminal with its flashing cursor so type ls -l /usr/bin/os-prober If you get no output, my first statement is incorrect. Want to know what happens when os-prober is run? It is in your PATH. Type os-prober and press enter. If it doesn't pick up your Windows installation it probably isn't worth doing 'update-grub' because this command uses the output of os-prober. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
