[Bug 1242283] [NEW] os-prober does not detect Windows XP

[sleepy]

Public bug reported:

In recent Ubuntu distributions including Saucy Salamander os-prober does
not recognise Windows XP on my multi-boot system.  I have retained Lucid
Lynx 10.04 on one partition to boot from because os-prober in Lucid Lynx
does recognise Windows XP.  As Lucid Lynx is coming out of the long term
support I may not be able to do this in future.  Adding the Windows
partition and boot information manually does not seem to be a suitable
fix.

Ubuntu 13.10

os-prober 1.61ubuntu1
