GRUB setup
Using the CLONED modified partiton (Windows placed onto the GPT style disc)
LINUX MINT 21 was installed - which for some reason was not reproducable.
Out of about a dozen attempts to install MINT - only 2 instances had the option
"Install Linux Mint alongside MS-DOS 5.x/6.x/Win3.1"
but on both occassions the MINT install "locked up".
Finally, via another way - MINT was manually installed -
but sudo update-grub FAILED to add the MSDOS71 to the menu.
On running the GPT style disc (on 4 different computers),
get the error
error:file /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found
Entering rescue mode ...
grub rescue>
IMPROVEMENTS TO WDE
- show drive (e.g. 0, 1, C, D ...)
- show last few keystrokes to get to the current screen (e.g. "F6 FAT32")
