[Bug 1009147] Re: Windows partitions incorrectly detected as duplicates

Tue Jun 5 21:52:30 UTC 2012

apport information

** Description changed:

  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.
