I've recently run into this problem. From my own experience, and looking
around on the net, the cause seems to be that something in the handling
of chainloading or drive mapping has changed since grub-legacy, and
Windows 95/98/ME thinks that it was booted from the MBR of a drive with
grub on it in

No one is faulty here.
* Grub2 is installed on the MBR to be the default bootloader of your system.
* Windows ME implements a protection scheme that check wether the MBR has been
modified or not.
For some reason, Windows failed to detect Grub Legacy (well, there I can think
that Windows ME was fa

I do appreciate that you're just trying to help, by the way, and I
acknowledge that this is a problem; I just see no way it can be fixed
here, other than simple dumb luck. As far as I can see you're trying

Dave, can you take a screenshot, or take a photograph of your monitor when this
Warning screen is displayed?
That might help us understand why this is happening.
Thanks.

GRUB 2 is not the same pattern of bits as GRUB Legacy.
I continue not to understand why it is a problem in GRUB 2 that *some
other software* incorrectly thinks it's a virus ... it's unfortunate,
certainly, but it is the fault of *that other software* surely? If you

As a workaround, you should try chainloading Grub2 from ntldr instead of
chainloading ntldr from Grub2. This will remove the need of replacing the MBR,
so Windows ME shouldn't complain anymore about a "virus" in your MBR. There are
numerous tutorials everywhere on the Internet to do so.

There is no virus and no virus scanner says there is. The old grub works
fine. Grub2 does not.Therefore its a bug in grub2.Maybe it should be
fixed upstream. it just needs to be fixed.Win. loads its just not
useable. M E is not supported and microsoft could care less.I might add
that I have been u
Have you tried reporting this to either Microsoft or your virus scanner
manufacturer, whichever is appropriate in this case? They have an
interest in avoiding false positives, since it tends to make people turn
virus scanning off which reduces the overall security of their system.

Sorry, but we simply can't fix this. It's a bug in Windows, or in your
virus scanner. GRUB 2 does not contain a virus, and so it is clearly a
false positive.

My virus scanner does not think there is a virus in the mbr,windows says
there is a corrupt file or a virus in the mbr. It will not load
everything. I never had this problem before grub2. The only reason I

Then you need to get a different virus scanner.
This isn't something we can fix.
