Bug#246700: os-prober: Does not detect Windows XP/2000 partitions

[Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org>]

Package: os-prober
Severity: important

This was seen with a 20040427 sarge_di netinst ISO image.

When it came at installing GRUB, I got a screen "it seems that Debian will be
the only OS blahblah".....and was asked whether to install grub....It choose
"No"...and then I was asked where to install GRUB...:-)

I finally accepted.....the system rebooted...and I was presented with a GRUB
menu, not allowing me to boot W2K anymore.

I've got more or less the same report from a friend with a Windows XP
installation.

I have the needed machine for testing and retesting this.....and don't worry
about my W2K partition, I also have the Ghost image for rebuilding the whole
stuff..:-)
