Can see windows file system, its in the grub menu, can't load it.

Hello.

I can mount and access my window file system. I can also see it's entry in the grub menu, but I cannot load it.
I used os-prober to detect the windows installation and then install grub.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

This is my file system, just in case:

    Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
        1            2048          206847   100.0 MiB   0700  Microsoft basic data
        2          206848       315121663   150.2 GiB   0700  Microsoft basic data
        3       315121664      1953520000   781.2 GiB   8300  Linux filesystem
        4      1953521664      1953525134   1.7 MiB     EF02  BIOS boot partition

Thanks in advance for your time and kind concern.

After you run
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
are there any errors during the mkconfig -o usually its says found this os then this os using os prober.  Are you seeing all the os currently installed on your partitions?
