linux - Windows 7 Keeps Changing the MBR on boot


I am having an issue with Windows 7 changing the boot order everytime I start up.


I have 4 partitions:



  • boot

  • linux

  • windows.


Grub is installed on the boot, and boots up both operating systems fine, however when I boot to Windows the bootable partition is changed to Windows and the MBR is rewritten.


How do I stop this? Its rather annoying to have to boot, chroot and fix this problem everytime.


I also don't want to use the Windows boot select.



Answer



I had the "makeactive" option in grub and apparently when Win7 sees that it is the active partition it latches on.
