Did you install the GrUB4dOS bootloader to the PartitionBootRecord, or to the MasterBootRecord of the drive?

[nacho20u]

 MasterBootRecord of the drive It is what made friend and not is if I can solve it, the puppy linux if it works but the sparky something not, surely broke and I would like to know if there is a solution for this. from already thank you for your concern .

I am not sure how the Puppy installer works, but it looks like Puppy during Grub installation (on hard drive installation process) did not run os-prober to detect other operating systems.

I suggest to run Sparky Live, choose "run from the hard drive", then run Sparky.

If you login to Sparky hard drive installation, refresh package list (in Synaptic) and reinstall all packages with "grub" in the name.

Otherwise you can run SparkyLinux 3.2.1 Xfce Live and use "Boot repair" tool to fix it as well.

try sparky xfce and tell you how I was thank you .
