Bug description:
  Dear All,
  Today after the update and upgrade of grub-pc on Ubuntu & Kubuntu 10.04  my system is not able to load Windows Platform whether Windows XP or Windows 7 whereas all Linux Distributions are working fine eg Ubuntu 10.04, Kubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 9.10, It seems neither NTFS nor FAT 32 is getting detected.
  Whenver I am trying to load it just reboots and comes back to grub menu. I did update-grub2 also but no difference is seen... The installed version of grub-pc 1.98~20100128-1ubuntu2
  here is the output of the update-grub2

  root at rajinder-desktop:~# update-grub2
  Generating grub.cfg ...

  Tried with old grub configuration file also....but that also did not help...
  Please tell me what to do for bringing back the Windows platform back.
  Thanks
  Rajinder
