Comment 140 for bug 441941

Well, this one's real bad. I'm running Lucid and WinXP Home on an Acer Aspire One D250. It doesn't matter if I use GRUB2 or BURG (which is based on GRUB2, as we know), anytime I boot windows, it corrupts my bootloader and I get this bug rearing it's ugly head. As far as I can tell, there is nothing installed in Windows that should be reading or writing to the MBR (I removed all the crapware that Acer calls their "empowering technology" and my antivirus, AVG free, does not scan the MBR).

A similar setup on my desktop (an Acer Aspire running Lucid and Win7 Pro x64) has no issues whatsoever.

This is certainly frustrating, I don't want to have to constantly repair or reinstall GRUB. Looks like I'm goin' back to grub-legacy, unless anyone else has any ideas?
