(Win-7 is installed on sdc2.) I guess I'll just live with these extra / needless entries in the grub boot menu at startup - I don't want to screw up a working, dual-boot system! I'm also surmising that the entries would reappear when a update and grub refresh occurs. Thanks to Hartmut and others who have offered suggestions. /Roger </body> </html>
