It behaved like crap^H^H^H^H, the way it should, was unable to establish wireless connection even though it saw the network and had the key (probably some kind of problem with lenovo connection manager), has written "Test mode" in left right corner ("anti-piracy", oh boy, annoys more legal customers than prevents copies) even though it's activated (as is confirmed in "system" dialog) and completely legal (MSDNAA) but bcdedit worked without problem.

Just installed GRUB2 for a multi-disk multi-partition configuration. Installed GRUB2 after installing a Windows 7 image (W2K8R2 specifically). After GRUB2 was working, found that Windows BCDEDIT tool could not access its repository even though the directory for it was present on the Win7 partition. My guess is that GRUB2 overwrote some BCDEDIT related information in the MBR. GRUB1 does not cause this problem.

I'll add the missing parttool entries to autogenerated config. They are needed only when having multiple m$ systems but never hurts
