Certainly. Not only do you refer to a post that's a few months old. For your /dev/sdb, "file" said "GRand Unified Bootloader", which means it detected GRUB. Then you reinstalled GRUB to sdb only to find that "file" still detects a "GRand Unified Bootloader" while you expected it to not do that. That's been a weird assumption, IMO, leading to a wrong conclusion. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.3.4-1.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.06 0.08 0.22 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
