To whom it may concern:
Combtail, 2013-05-03:
Failed to boot into GRUB, Master Boot Record (MBR) was
mysteriously absent. Combtail only has Win7 on it, so reinstalling GRUB
seemed purposeless. Attempted to obtain a Win7 install disk to fix the
MBR. A disk was obtained after I had already left, so [TPG] used the Win7
disk to "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" it. Combtail is now working*.
Catfish, 2013-05-06:
Slows to a crawl and crashes after booting into windows. Linux
works fine. "Use Linux" deemed to be insufficient solution. Tests revealed
the "C:" partition NTFS was borked. "CHKDSK /f" done fixed it. Catfish is
now working*.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Gozzard [GOZ]
*For some degree of "working".
