Hi,

GRUB can boot Windows NT family with two different methods:
- chainloader + Windows boot sector
- ntldr + Windows ntldr or bootmgr path

Currently, os-prober reports ntldr and bootmgr with the "chain" boot type so grub-mkconfig helper script uses the chainloader method. However I observed that on some setups Windows fails to boot properly whereas it boots fine with the ntldr method.

Is there any disadvantage of booting Windows with ntldr instead of chainloader (other than requiring the fat or ntfs driver to read Windows boot partition) ?
