"Already" at what point? Windows XP was installed before Jessie. Windows 10 was a subsequent fresh installation which began by reformatting the existing partition created for XP. Before XP, several Linux distros were installed. All of this is irrelevant, because I install and setup Grub myself, writing my own primary bootloader menu, including in it whatever I please.

That's the type of mount I posted in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/09/msg00488.html but I think it limits you to readonly, which suits me. If you (noone is reading this, are they?) decide to go for read-write access, it might pay to look at "Windows hibernation and fast restarting" on http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/ which is one of several reasons I don't bother with it. I just don't trust M$ to allow anything outside their realm to work properly. Cheers, David.

I booted W10 minutes ago, without noticing anything unusual. Then I restarted into Jessie to find those three files with new timestamps at previous sizes. Next I deleted the two larger, following that up by disconnecting the ethernet cable and booting W10 again, again without noticing anything unusual, not that I'd notice what would be "unusual" about running W10. About the only things I've done with W10 is allow it to update, and open Edge to see what it looks like. > If you (noone is reading this, are they?) decide to go for read-write access, > it might pay to look at "Windows hibernation and fast restarting" on > http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/ > which is one of several reasons I don't bother with it. I just don't > trust M$ to allow anything outside their realm to work properly. I went to that site, then did as it suggested, opened an administrator command prompt and ran powercfg /h off. Following that with "dir /ah \", hiberfil.sys is not listed. Its absence seems confirmed by restarting into Jessie. While in Jessie, I touched linuxWroteThis while in /win/C, wrote 7 ASCII characters into it, then restarted into Windows, and opened it with Wordpad. Then I selected all 7, copied, and pasted, all with mouse. Enough time on Windows for this month; restarted into Jessie, then shutdown. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Of course it doesn't. A seed isn't a fruiting plant. It's not ready for cut and
paste.
Hmm . . . a good aphorism, I guess.
However, what _does_ work is the command 'blkid' Its output for my
/dev/sda3 is: LABEL="OS"! ! So much for the adherents here of
os-prober(You know who you are!)
After further exploration, I found that the command to mount the
Windoze system is: mount UUID="ddddd . . ." /mnt2. The 'ddd. . . " is
a sixteen digit string given by the blkid command. And /mnt2 is another
mount point I created, anticipating this use.
With this I can, as root or as user, cd to /mnt2 and explore the arcana
of Windows 10. I didn't try copying to or from /mnt2, since I was
afraid of disrupting the Windoze system.
Perhaps a lurking installer maintainer can pick up on this. It
shouldn't be hard to set up a grub file with the capacity to install
Windoze, if desired. Or to put a mount point into fstab.
of this is irrelevant, because I install and setup Grub myself, writing my own
primary bootloader menu, including in it whatever I please. I can load Grub
from the Windows boot menu if and when I please as well.
There is an enviable talent! I don't think I'll need more than I
presently have. My hope is still to get jessie working as well as
wheezy did. I can now use X11, but I still need to get my jessie
connected to the Internet. I have a message about that to reply to.
Thanks, Felix, and best wishes to all you other folk!
Alan
