Thread: grub2 doesn't recognize windows 7

hey everyone!

here's probem installed windows 7 after installed linux. got grub reinstalled windows doesnt show in grup menu. run in linux sudo update-grub, doesnt find windows system.

maybe can me add windows grub menu.

here's fdisk -l

code:

device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system  /dev/sda1               1        8511    68358144   83  linux  /dev/sda2            8511        8572      487425    5  extended  /dev/sda3   *        8572       12513    31662080    7  hpfs/ntfs  /dev/sda4           12514       19457    55777680    7  hpfs/ntfs  /dev/sda5            8511        8572      487424   82  linux swap / solaris

and here's sudo update-grub

code:

kaarel@mint ~ $ sudo update-grub  searching grub installation directory ... found: /boot/grub  searching default file ... found: /boot/grub/default  testing existing grub menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst  searching splash image ... none found, skipping ...  found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686  updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

wee need see more information can provided meierfra's boot script. boot ubuntu , go site:

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/

download , run boot script according instructions there , post contents of results.txt between code tags clarity. there several reasons why grub's os-prober might not see windows , boot script may tell us. also, give better fdisk output fdisk -l, gives partition figures in cylinders, of little use. in future, might want use "fdisk -lu" gives figures in sectors of more help. don't need run fdisk again - equivalent information in boot script output.
