Hi John, Sorry for the late reply, and thanks Nicolas and Toomas for providing further insight.

John, may I ask you to perform the following experiment? Could you start another install on a system with presently working Windows, but abort the FAI install before grub or the like are installed. I'd claim that typing Ctrl-C after setup-storage has done its work is the best way to achieve that, but that might be harder for you. If that's the case, maybe get rid of all grub-related references from the config space? I'm wondering whether indeed setup-storage is at fault, or the grub install is causing the trouble. Oh, and upgrading to 3.4.8 from 3.4.7 should be safe. Maybe worth a try, but I'm not sure whether there is any change related to your problem in there. Best regards, Michael
