I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Windows 7 computer, and I would like to know how to change the names of the menu options so it will just say "Windows 7" instead of "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)".

I saw this answer but that means installing a program, which I don't want to do. I want to know how to do this natively.

Grub menu entries for Windows are generated by the chain_entry function in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober. The entry names are takes directly from the program os-prober. You can transform them to your liking by modifying said function.

  • Can you please elaborate exactly what to do? I am new to Linux and don't yet know my way around. –  Aug 03 '15 at 17:01
