Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
After a complete new install of Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, Windows Vista
failed to boot from the Grub menu. When I tried to boot to Vista from
the Grub menu I got the recovery partition for Windows Vista which came
pre-installed on this laptop. When I researched the problem I found that
Grub had switched the menu title of the Vista Recovery partition on
/dev/sda1/ with the menu title of the Vista Loader partition on
/dev/sda2/ so that the Vista Recovery entry on the Grub menu booted to
the Vista Loader and the Vista Loader entry on the Grub menu booted to
Vista Recovery. I can still boot to Vista normally; only the entry
titles have been switched. I don't need a solution to this problem. I am
only reporting it in order to save others from the heartbreak of a
completely unnecessary experience trying to repair the Vista mbr.
The version of grub that I am using is grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu5.
