To have os-prober find an OS, that OS does not have to be mounted. If an OS is found in sdb1, it could mean that some grub.cfg or menu.lst exists there; that's where it gets information from. However, I understand that the existence of /etc/debian-version in sdb1 is the most likely cause. But if the cause cannot be undone, there is still a way to have sdb1 ignored. Line 40 of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober looks like this: OSPROBED="`os-prober | tr ' ' '^' | paste -s -d ' '`" Now insert '| grep --invert-match sdb1' after 'os-prober', so it looks like this: OSPROBED="`os-prober | grep --invert-match sdb1 | tr ' ' '^' | paste -s -d ' '`" After an 'update-grub' the sdb1 entry will be gone from the Grub menu. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
