Title:
  invalid Windows7 EFI entries in GRUB

Status in os-prober:
  New
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  64bits computer with pre-installed EFI Windows 7.

  Installed Ubuntu 64bits in dual-boot. GRUB (grub-efi) is correctly
  installed and allows to boot Ubuntu, but it does not allow to boot
  Windows.

  Its menu shows 2 INVALID Windows entries. When selecting these
  entries, it displays "Invalid EFI file path" error, and returns to
  GRUB menu.

  It appears that GRUB creates BIOS/mbr entries when it should be
  UEFI/gpt type entries.

  *********************** WORKAROUND **************************

  either boot Windows from the (EFI) BIOS menu, or add valid Windows entries via Boot-Repair.
