Bug Description

Binary package hint: os-prober

os-prober did not find my Windows 7 installation. When I added:

menuentry "Manual Windows entry" {
  search --set --fs-uuid 64f8dcb7f8dc8926
  chainloader +1
}

to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, Windows booted fine.

I am going to post the output from Boot Info Script. Tell me if there is any more information you need.
