I recently encountered what It's 'imself describes, with an fairly pristine (though ~5 month old) Ubuntu 10.04 install. The actual Windows Vista and the recovery partition are reversed so that, in Grub, one must select the entry labelled as “recovery” to start Windows properly.
sda1 holds actual Windows, recovery is a small partition at the other side (sda5). Ubuntu sits in between the two and is the primary operating system. This on an HP dv9000 notebook. It isn't my computer so I won't be able to provide much information, but there you are :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597793 Title: grub installer recognizes Windows 7 recovery partition instead of main partition -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
