If it isn't too late to comment on this, I did install an Ubuntu OS onto a 
Lenovo laptop with a factory installed Windows Vista OS. Afterwards, he 
GRUB screen showed two "Windows Vista" operating systems, labeled 
identically, one on (hd0,0) and the other on (hd0,1); both (loader)s : one 
booted the Vista operating system; but the other booted a Windows Vista 
restore partition -which if booted, appears to lead one through a complete 
reversal of the installation process, or who knows what else.

I imagine the Windows OS prefers to believe that the new Ubuntu install is 
a mistake.

Anyway, I since edited the grub menu file with a hash mark in front of the 
title of the restore partition, thus making it invisible to the user.
