grub/windows boot loader

[#1]

Right just whacked ubuntu on partion 2(got rid of vista and its system files) ive got W7 on partion 3.
ive now got grub boot loader firing up first, and instead of having W7 in its menu its got the windows boot loader, to which i boot into and then ive got windows7 and windows 7 recovered in the windows boot loader.
yes i should of just been happy with windows and not messed about, so linux fan boys how do i get this extra entry out of the windows boot loader and just have the windows 7 recovered option show up in the grub loader?

[#2]

Surely it is the WINDOWS boot loader you need to change as grub is only offering you one windows option ?

[#3]

Have you tried rebooting Windows twice, taking the standard (non-recovery) option?
I had to do this after a NTFS filesystem error on a W7 laptop.
You do have to reboot twice to get rid of the extra option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd agree that you'd need to edit the Windows bootloader and get rid of the recovered option.
Easy BCD is the easiest way to do this that I've found, plenty of download links here:

You can edit the Grub menu by changing /boot/grub/menu.lst although I gather this has changed in Ubuntu 10.4.

ok. cheers for the input.
ive allready used easy bcd to get rid of the invalid W7 entry, and now instead of taking me from grub to windows boot loader i can boot straight into w7 from grub 2 (oh yes forgot to say its grub 2 ).
am now just editing the etc/default/grub file to change ubuntu from the default to load to windows 7
having read everying about grub 2 am now wanting to add a splash screen, why when you solve one problem do you have to go and find something else thats going to give you a head ache

ive edited the below file to the default value of 30 for the windows 7 and then ran the update-grub command, but the deafult to load is still ubuntu when i rebooted
etc/ default/grub

Have a look <a href="http://grub.gibibit.com/">here</a> for a nicer menu when booting.
TO modify the grub menu install Startup-Manage (from inside Ubuntu)
30 isn't the correct number unless you  have 30 OS's Installed!
