I don't remember what the change to LL system was (as previously described elsewhere by Jerry) that causes the error message when another OS is in charge of booting, but making LL in charge of boot process should allow booting of all OS's.
It's just a case of general principle really. There shouldn't be an issue with making any OS in charge of booting. In my case, it's usually Point Linux (Debian Wheezy based) and at times it's Sparky. But, since it doesn't really matter, I'll go ahead and let LL handle Grub.
Thanks for your reply.

I tend to agree.
Don't remember the specifics, but something was changed to make dual-booting with Windows easier, or the boot menu choices more obvious, or something like that. Big target audience for LL is new users coming from Windows and that was reason for change. Since I haven't dual-booted with Windows in many years I have no idea what real difference the change made, but I don't remember anything particularly difficult about the setup before.
EDIT: Just noticed that earlier in this thread I posted a link to what Jerry (aka Valtam) wrote about this. You could try fix he suggested there if you want to keep current preferred OS booting. https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=480.msg2431#msg2431

I've used Rescatux in the past and it is a useful program. In this case, Grub is working fine for the other 4 distros in the menu. It's only when I choose LL that I am getting the filename error. I've read that if I change Grub control to LL, the issue will go away but I'm not prepared to do that at this point.
No problem , lets see what will result of future fix on your side .
