[SOLVED] Adding Windows 7 to GRUB menu

How do I add Windows to the GRUB menu upon start up? I know that I must edit the menu.lst, but I'm not sure what to specify for hd (x,x) and if anything else is necessary. Here's the output for 'sudo fdisk -l':

Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000203804160 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Re: [SOLVED] Adding Windows 7 to GRUB menu

what is your /boot/grub/device.map (assuming your grub is installed there)?

I have the Windows option in GRUB working now after a bit of trial and error, thanks. I apologize for not consulting the Wiki prior to posting.

Might have to use (hd0,0) instead, depending on which order your bios sees the discs in.

edit: Bha, missed the previous post due to silly browser not reloading the page correctly.

edit2: Please mark the thread with [Solved]
