Refer to discussion:

grub4dos on the second partition because of bitlocker: Question http://reboot.pro/16212/

It shows a bug in the grub4dos' NTFS boot record which have caused hang-up when searching this encrypted NTFS partition for GRLDR. Workaround is to use wee63.mbr.

At this moment the issue remains open because the bug is not fixed yet.
