Title:
  grub2 fails to include Windows Vista entry in GRUB menu

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing Quantal, I have been noticing that the newest grub2 (versions
  2.00......) do not present an option in the GRUB menu to boot into
  Windows Vista (dev/sda2); they do, however, offer booting into the
  Windows Recovery partition (dev/sda1). In consequence, to allow dual-
  booting Ubuntu/Vista I have to continue to use grub2 in Precise as the
  GRUB master (as versions 1.99..... correctly offer both /dev/sda1 and
  /dev/sda2) or hand-craft a 40_custom file to add the Vista entry at
  the end of the menu.

  The first is problematic, as running a multi-boot machine with both
  Precise and Quantal leads to multiple GRUB entries for Quantal in the
  Precise GRUB menu (another bug?). The scond should not be necessary if
  os-prober is doing its job correctly.
