Bug#550702: grub-pc: Grub hangs after having ran Windows XP or Vista

[Ferran Jorba]

By the way, as I've rebooted this laptop several times, I've noted
that the message Grub displays changes every time Windows manages to
overwrite the Grub area.  That is, as the welcome message is:

 GRUB loading.
 Welcome to GRUB!

 symbol not found: 'x'  <=== this varies, usually funny ascii chars
 Aborted.  Press any key to exit.

I thought it may matter if you try to find signatures.  If you are
interested in other examples of the boot sector after rebooting
Windows, please let me know.

OTOH, this system apparently doesn't have ISUSPM.exe mentioned by Ahmad.
