[Solved] Help needed in dual booting windows 8. 1 with arch linux

Hi guys,
I was trying to dual boot my windows with arch linux(legacy mode) and windows was already taking up 3 primary partitons and i thought of creating and extended partiton and creating seperate logical partitons to install arch.

So sda1 and sda2 was used up by windows and i created sda3 as extended partion and created 3 logical partions sda4, sda5 and sda6 for root, swap and home respectively and i followed the arch installation procedure in the arch wiki. Now the problem is my grub bootloader doesnt show my windows installation ony arch is shown.

I installed grub onto sda as shown in arch wiki installation guide.
Thankyou

This can get overlooked on the grub page in the wiki.

Tip: To have grub-mkconfig search for other installed systems, install the os-prober package.
