Re: [Bug 476625] Re: Grub2 affected when os-prober incorrectly identifies Windows and Recovery partitions

I'd reopen this one as it's obviously not fixed. If I have time, I'll try to implement a solution using hives and BCD... if I have time... I'm actually not in charge of os-prober but it seems that no one care about fixing this for once and for all. This bug is more than one year old now... 2010/11

Re: [Bug 476625] Re: Grub2 affected when os-prober incorrectly identifies Windows and Recovery partitions

God, as I said it was only a temporary fix and we already face a case where it doens't work. What's the BCD of your recovery partition ? And btw what's comment #7 ? I don't see any number identifying the comments here. I assume this is not easy to fix as we depend on the way recovery partition a

[Bug 476625] Re: Grub2 affected when os-prober incorrectly identifies Windows and Recovery partitions
