Title:
  Grub2 mixes up Windows partitions on Dell laptop

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Ubuntu 10.10 amd64
  Grub2:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
    Version table:
       1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0

  I have a dual boot setup on Dell Inspiron 1521. Vista is on sda3, Dell
  recovery partition is sda5, Ubuntu 10.10 is on sda6. Ubuntu is ok in
  selection menu (grub.cfg). However grub2 decided that the Vista
  partition is sda5 and the Dell recovery partition is sda3. If I select
  the sda3 partition I boot into Vista, so that is ok, only the
  description is reversed.Also there is no good way to manually correct
  this on a permanent basis.
