Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
When updating from grub legacy it detected my Windows 7 RC loader as a vista one and the XP loader as Win2k
/boot/grub.cfg:
menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set e074f86a74f844b6
chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (on /dev/sdc1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd2,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 48b8cef4b8cedf94
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
chainloader +1
}

That Windows 7 is detected as Vista is already reported as bug 393565
Please attach or paste your boot.ini on /dev/sdc1
AFAISC os-prober just extracts the value from it as the OS name.
Mabye you just had 2000 installed or copied that file from a 2000 system?
