[arch-general] Dual boot issue, windows doesn't show up on grub

[Yaro Kasear]

I have found it sometimes helps to mount the "Microsoft Reserved" or
"Microsoft System" partition before running grub-mkconfig. The os-prober
package can be really dimwitted sometimes when it comes to doing scans on
its own like that.
