Dear Maintainer,

When I got to the GRUB installation stage of my install, I got the
message:  "It seems that this new installation is the only operating
system on this computer".  But this is incorrect: Windows 7 is occupying
two primary NTFS partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2.  sda1 is the
SYSTEM_DRV volume, and sda2 is Windows.

Not sure why from reading syslog.  If I mount /dev/sda2 on /mnt and run
"/usr/lib/os-probse/mounted/20microsoft /dev/sd2 /mnt ntfs", it prints:

    /dev/sda2:Windows Vista (loader):Windows1:chain

I went ahead and install GRUB an the MBR, and found that /dev/sda1 and
/dev/sda2 were both added to the GRUB menu as bootable Windows
partitions (and booting them works).  (Probably only /dev/sda1 should
have been added because including both is redundant, but that's a
detail.)

I am reporting the bug from a different computer, but I don't think the
hardware matters.

Andrew
