Bug Description
Binary package hint: dell-recovery
version: 0.98
In a very specific factory install process, WinPE is present on one of the partitions for the duration of install, but gone after install completes. Because of this, grub-installer seems to get it in it's mind that there should be a Windows option in the grub menu.
That windows option is easily overridden by placing GRUB_DISABLE_
In scenarios that it's guaranteed only one OS is around, the os-prober binary can be moved out of $PATH to prevent these problems.
Fix:
one line fix, os-prober is renamed in the above scenario.
Regression Potential:
None. This only affects dell factory install process.
