Title:
  Dual boot Windows 7 Ubuntu 10.10

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was running XP and Ubuntu 10.10 dual booted and everything ran well.
  I upgraded XP to Windows 7 and it cleaned out the dual boot. No
  problem, I wanted to make more space for Ubuntu. Changed the disk
  configuration to look like this:

  Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
  I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0xcab10bee

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sda1   *           1        7873    63239841    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sda2            7874        9730    14910465    5  Extended
  /dev/sda5            9456        9730     2197504   82  Linux swap / Solaris
  /dev/sda6            7874        9456    12712960   83  Linux

  Partition table entries are not in disk order

  Windows 7 still running after the disk reconfiguration.

  Installed Ubuntu 10.10 in sda6, swap in sda5 - everything appeared to
  be ok.

  rebooted - grub screen came up - selected Ubuntu -everything works
  fine

  rebooted - grub screen came up - selected Windows 7 - a slight pause
  and the grub screen came back.

  This is a very repeatable problem - happens every time - so now I can
  only use Ubuntu - no Windows 7.

  If I select Windows 7 on the grub screen and enter an "e" to edit I
  see:

  insmod part_msdos
  insmod ntfs
  set root = '(hd0,msdos1)'
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a2542c9f542c7865
  chainloader +1

  Is there something that I can correct in the above?
  Thanks
