WRT to grub's menu not having windows in it, I found this in the syslog: Dec 3 13:18:11 kernel: [ 1108.179415] NTFS-fs warning (device sda2): load_system_files(): Volume is dirty. Will not be able to remount read-write. Run chkdsk and mount in Windows.

And it also finds one of the recovery partitions as a windows partition: Dec 3 13:18:12 20microsoft: debug: /dev/sda3 is a NTFS partition Dec 3 13:18:13 20microsoft: result: /dev/sda3:Windows Vista (loader):Windows2:chain So I cannot see from the syslog why the grub menu did not have these in it. os-prober was also installed in /target , perhaps that os-prober somehow failed to find OS's the d-i os-prober found? -- see shy jo
