windows 7 fedora dual boot two disks

[suspension]

hi,

i has windows 7 installed in disk2. before installing windows 7, i has ubuntu and windowx xp in the same disk and boot manager was grub. thisngs worked fine with this setup. After windows is installed, it thwe machine started to boot to windows 7 without giving any options. This was OK as i did not want to boot to ubuntu.

Today, i installed fedora latest on disk1. when set up aked where to put the boot record i chose MBR. now the boot loader is grub and it has detected all os's, which are fedora (just installed), windows 7, and ubuntu. fedora boots fine. However widnows does not boot. When selected it just restart the machine without showing anything.

i ran boot infor script and this is the main output.

and this is the entry in for windows 7 in the file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class windows --class os {

	insmod ntfs
	set root='(hd1,msdos1)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4C8C0A108C09F4EC
	chainloader +1
}

To my knowledge (which is very small when it comes to OS booting process) this looks OK. I appreciate any help so that i can boot from windows 7 again without re-installing fedora/windows.

Thank you

Here is a great guide...

I gave up up fixing that installation finally and then followed this same guide. This time windows booted but not the fedora. Later figured that the fedora used grub2 instead of kegacy grub. After changing the corresponding setting in windows boot management tool everything started to work. I really think that guide must be updated to use the fact that new fedora uses grub2 instead of legacy grub.

Thanks anyway for the info.
