[Bug 1009147] [NEW] Windows partitions incorrectly detected as duplicates

[Thomas Ward]

Public bug reported:

The grub os-prober is incorrectly detecting the windows system partition
as a valid bootloading device and is detecting the windows "System
Reserved" partition created by the Windows installer and the system
partition.  It is also labeling them the same way, which adds duplicate
entries.

NOTICE: There may be similar bugs to this one, however i do not have a
recovery partition (installed on a *clean* drive by myself using a full
install disk from Microsoft)

Ubuntu 12.04
Package: os-prober.


I will add additional details, including `apt-cache policy` and `lsb_release -rd`output later, as I am not reporting from my Ubuntu system right now.
