Of course it doesn't. A seed isn't a fruiting plant. It's not ready for cut and paste. 1: /dev/sda6 needs to be adjusted to the partitioning on your HD, a complete picture of which you have yet to show us. If Windows is on /dev/sda1, then that's what your fstab needs. 2: /win/C probably doesn't exist on your Jessie /. You need to choose where you want to mount the Windows partition, create a new place if necessary, then replace /win/C with that location in your fstab. 3: It might be required that you substitute nfts for ntfs-3g in your fstab. > ...Were your examples from a box with Windoze already on it? "Already" at what point? Windows XP was installed before Jessie. Windows 10 was a subsequent fresh installation which began by reformatting the existing partition created for XP. Before XP, several Linux distros were installed. All of this is irrelevant, because I install and setup Grub myself, writing my own primary bootloader menu, including in it whatever I please. I can load Grub from the Windows boot menu if and when I please as well. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
