i have installed Debian 7.0 with grub dual-booting on a machine with
Windows XP,
from the above image.

when i boot, get the grub menu, choose the Windows Xp Professional menu
entry, 
there is the grub message:
  error no argument

  press any key to continue.

pressing some key then boots Windows properly.

the problem is caused by an error in /boot/grub/grub.cfg in menu entry
for Windows:  

  menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional":

  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set EA7C3BB97C3B7F7F

the search line should have "--set=root" not "--set".
