Hi,
Stalwart Colin Watson has a brief article explaining the problem with
Grub 2 on a dual-boot Windows/Linux system. It seems some Windows'
applications assume they can use the first bit of the disk for their
protection schemes, trampling Grub 2 in the process. (Grub 1 was
smaller.) He's looking for samples where it happens to try and work
around the issue. I thought it may be of interest to LUGs, and would
widen his search.
