    ta. I did try VMWare on this old PC but the processor isn't capable of supporting it. I tried it in both Win 10 & Linux but it's not supported.

    I take it that is from grub-mkconfig? Have you run grub-customizer lately , that should put the same XP entries on your grub.cfg
    That looks like the same as you had before, what actually happens when you try to boot?

    Yes, grub-mkconfig - I’m working through the possible options. Thanks again for your help.
