Sorry, my ambiguity here. 'check' meant 'tick, yes, done'

What funny. Would rather have done it yesteryear. But this is the
machine @work and I need it @times.

I am hoping to improve grub, which is already great !

Actually, it is even worse: I brought a disk from home and put it in as
hdc1 (hd1,0) that contains simply the content of that C:. Nothing else.
And it had been 'ghosted' to that pseudo-C: with immediate success. And
boots perfectly with grub ('map'). So I am pretty sure that this
partition (hda2) doesn't lack anything, because it is just another cast
of that 'ghost' that I also threw to hdc1 without any problem. So if it
is possible to boot easily to that 'ghosted' hdc1; the content of hda2
can be mounted; with root (hd0,1) it shows a FAT16 filesystem (I didn't
mention this earlier, I think); --- so why the hell wouldn't it want to
boot ??
