Cannot run in dual boot with Windows 8 Consumer Preview #836

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview
2. Installed Android 4.0 RC1 to another partition, installing GRUB boot loader 
also for the windows found in the first partition.
3. Finished installation.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I was hoping to run the android in dual boot with windows 8 CP, like I did with 
Windows 7 before. After the 3 steps above, Android works perfectly. It also 
gives me the option to boot the Windows instead of Android but once I choose 
Windows it says that there is a problem with the BOOT file and cannot repair it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using the Android-x86 4.0-RC1 released on 2012-02-27 on android-x86.org 
and Windows 8 Consumer Preview downloaded from the official web site.

You have to boot to an Ubuntu Live Disc and set your Windows Partition as 
active. The Android boot menu will still appear but Windows will now work again.
