[Bug 1520842] [NEW] Ubuntu 14.5 install lists wrong other OSes in login screen

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

this may be a Linux error but it occurs on Ubuntu 15.4 install.  I also
run Win XP because of some software that doesn't run on Ubuntu.  The
login list created by Ubuntu lists two OSes, one that hasn't been on my
computer for several years (WinXP 64 bit) and one that I deleted the
disk partition it was installed on (Win 7), created a new partition in
that space, and reformatted it as NTFS.  But the two entries on my Win
XP boot drive boot.ini file are NOT listed in the Ubuntu boot list.  In
fact, if you select the entry for Win 7, it takes you to the Win XP boot
list.  This is a glaring install error that needs to be fixed.  Why does
Linux-Ubuntu not check the boot.ini file and put those in the Ubuntu
boot list screen?  Why are non-existent OSes listed instead.  A major
bug.
