Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-23
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have 2 hard drive. One for debian wheezy and one for test windows 8.
My bios boot on first hard drive (debian) with grub-pc, but it can not boot windows 8.

After an "update-grub" the file "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" looks like this:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class windows --class os {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root='(/dev/sdb,msdos1)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 90AAFD55AAFD37F4
        drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
        chainloader +1
}

I had to change that part for that windows 8 boot with grub-pc:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class windows --class os {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root=(hd1)
        chainloader +1
}

Best regards,
