God, as I said it was only a temporary fix and we already face a case where
it doens't work.

What's the BCD of your recovery partition ?

And btw what's comment #7 ? I don't see any number identifying the comments
here.

I assume this is not easy to fix as we depend on the way recovery partition
are named and this is up to the distributor to choose a name (Windows Setup,
Windows Recovery, Windows Recover Initial Setup, Windows Help It's Crashed,
whatever, you name it). Were're trying to deal with an os that as no
standard and that's not easy.

A solution would be to identify Windows 95, 200x, XP, Vista, Seven and put
anything else as revovery or unindentify (fat, fat32, htfs) but that will
only work until the next version of Windows, grrrrr.
