I have a single core pentium processor system. Not sure about the version of Debian Linux however I do know: GRUB v1.99-27 GNOME Version 3.4.2 32 bit O/S For several years I have used this hardware with Windows XP and Debian in a dual bootable system through GRUB. Yesterday I loaded Debian and received a number of updates over the Internet. On the next reboot I lost the ability to boot to the XP O/S. How do I get the choice of both XP and Debian as operating systems back? Thank you, Mike Tremblay

Hi, Mike, If GRUB allows you to boot into Debian, run "update-grub" as a sudo command or as root. The resulting report should show that GRUB has found both OS on your system. Mine shows, for example: Generating grub configuration file ... Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.3.0-1-amd64 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.3.0-1-amd64 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-1-amd64 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-1-amd64 Found Debian GNU/Linux (stretch/sid) on /dev/sdb1 Found Debian GNU/Linux (stretch/sid) on /dev/sdc1 Found Windows 10 (loader) on /dev/sdd1 done HTH Terence On 14 February 2016 at 18:32, <mat715@comcast.net> wrote: > I have a single core pentium processor system.

Thanks. An update installed yesterday appears to have fixed this problem.
