Brian Doe, thanks for your attempt at fixing this. I suffer from this issue, and I do have a recovery partition (well, suffer: I had to tell my wife not to boot Vista but the recovery partition instead). Your modification solves the misidentification of the Windows Vista partition, so in that sense it is an improvement.
But I now realize there were two problems in identification: the recovery partition is misidentified as Windows Vista. And this is not solved. I know that my 1st partition is the recovery, while sda2 is the Vista partition. I believe that the recovery partition is not recognized, but just falling through to the default of Vista. Is the only way I can check that to install the hivex stuff mentioned above? -- Grub2 affected when os-prober incorrectly identifies Windows and Recovery partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
