Hey I got the same problem but, I added this which I found above but changed the hd0,0 to hd0,1 because of the dell recovery partition which is under hd0,0. When Windows booted it checked for consistency and did whatever it thought it had to do and worked fine after wards
So editing the menu.lst file does work title Microsoft Windows root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Thanks -- Grub removes Windows boot option when NTFS partition needs recovery https://launchpad.net/bugs/21175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
