Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

After installing Ubuntu 9.10 beta, windows fails to boot.  On selecting
windows on the grub boot menu, I get an error similar to:

"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
...\system32\ntoskrnl.exe"

I can boot windows fine using the "Super Grub Disk" boot CD from
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/, so it seems like it's not a problem with
windows. This is the automatically generated entry in grub.cfg:

menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" {
        insmod ntfs
        set root=(hd0,1)
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 6e2cf50d2cf4d0d7
        drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
        chainloader +1
}

Partition info from parted:
Model: ATA ST3200820AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 200GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
