Details:

Upgrading my Chakra distro. to use grub2 cause a very annoying situation.
Linux would boot fine on my HP G60 laptop, but when I selected Windows Vista
from the bootlader menu, it begins to load and then reboots most of the time.
I used EasyBCD to use windows boot manager instead and Vista loads fine. Most
times when I try to use Grub2 to load Vista this happens. Sometimes it goes
through though. But it's really a hit and miss situation. I have Windows 7 on
another laptop that functions fine with Grub Bootloader. The Bios version
number of the laptop is F 3E, and the operating system is Windows Vista 32
bit. I have reinstalled the linux O.S a couple of times, uninstall and
reinstall grub2. But no dice. The grub2 version is 1.99-9 on Chakra Linux
(Archimedes).

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36018 (project grub):

Can you try with 2.00~beta2 and/or using ntldr /bootmgr instead of chainloader
+1 ?

Follow-up Comment #2:

There was a drivemap bug in 1.99 which was fixed in 2.00. Since reporter
didn't leave enough information to determine whether it could be this bug and
didn't respond to retest request, closing the bugreport. If you still
experience the problem with 2.00~beta6 feel free to file a new bug report.
