[Bug 432568] [NEW] DVD-RW drive unavailable in Windows after Grub boot

[Ned Patterson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub-pc

After using Grub-2 (and the earlier version, for that matter) to boot
Windows XP, the CD/DVD drive is not available.  (No indication of the
drive is visible in "My Computer.")  The same drive works fine in
Jaunty.  The problem exists when both chainloading Grub2 and with Grub2
installed on the MBR.

I have previously used lilo to boot this computer, and the drive was
available after using that bootloader.

The computer is a Clevo M57U laptop running Ubuntu 9.04.  
Grub-pc version: 1.96+20080724-12ubuntu2 (installed for testing prior to Karmic upgrade)

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
