Actually rebooted machine to check what windows option was
showing, and found that there was no option to select windows
from the grub2 menu??
Looking at grub.cfg found.
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
Then manually added this to have it have an option for windows?
The worked fine to boot the windows, but will require manually
updating grub.cfg after running a grub2-mkconfig or other similar
process.
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Windows 7" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,2) # Modify this to match your Windows partition
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
Note both machines had Windows 7 from Acer installed, and don't
seem to be be EFI setup, so just the regular ntldr setup.
Hadn't booted machine to Windows 7 for a long time, but had
worked fine in past?
So, issue is bigger than an error message that does make a
difference?
Thanks.
