does mean drive windows disconnected when installed ubuntu? if so, grub installer have been unaware of presence of windows , not have included windows entry in main grub.cfg configuration file.

set bios boot ubuntu drive, keep other 2 drives connected, boot ubuntu, open terminal, and:

code:

sudo update-grub

if i've misunderstood you, have rest of boot info script output, please? 90% missing! , please enclose in code tags, not quote tags - correct formatting.
