Hello. Currently one on FAT* check is a check for string FAT* at specific location. This check was added to avoid detecting some recovery partitions as fat even if they are really FAT and previously you could access them from GRUB. I find this approach incorrect since even if data on this partition is considerd useless by someone it may be useful for someone else (for recovery purposes especially). Furthermore during LSF I met someone who had a Symbian-based phone and wanted to install GRUB on it to be able to use phone as USB bootable disk. The FAT was formatted by Symbian and had no FAT* string but was otherwise correct. May I remove this check?
