Bug Description
When booting Ubuntu from Windows XP boot menu, a Grub menu appears with three options, Ubuntu Linux, Ubuntu Linux rescue mode and Windows XP on /dev/sda1
Selecting Windows XP on this grub menu comes up with an error.
I'm guessing that the Ubuntu installer is detecting Windows XP and falsely installing it as an option in the Grub menu.
Steps to recreate...
Installed fresh copy of Windows XP Home SP3 on VirtualBox.
Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on top of Windows XP using Wubi installer on Ubuntu 9.10 CD. Rebooted and Ubuntu configured itself.
Rebooted and selected Ubuntu from Windows XP boot menu.
Grub menu appears with Windows XP on the list of operating systems.
Selected Windows XP and it appears with an error.

Just tried it with Windows Vista, again Grub lists Windows Vista but actually selecting Vista from the Grub menu (after selecting Ubuntu from the Windows Boot manager menu) reloads the Windows Boot manager menu rather than just throwing up an error.
