[Bug 1061255] Re: GRUB recognizes defunct LDM headers

[Phillip Susi]

No, since grub also uses the wrong partition module and references the
wrong partition when trying to locate windows, if it even sees it at all
to add an entry to the menu.

  GRUB recognizes defunct LDM headers

  GRUB recognizes stale LDM headers left on the disk after reformatting
  without LDM.  This causes grub to complain either that embedding is

  instead of msdos.
