How to add Windows to boot menu

Question

I have 2 hard drives, one with Windows and one with Ubuntu.

How can I easily add Windows to the boot menu? I've installed GRUB customizer; can it be done with that program?

Answer 1

You have to edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom file by:

sudo -H gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

add an entry like:

menuentry 'Windows 7′ {
set root='(hd0,msdos2)’
chainloader +1
}

Since you have two drives, you should also modify the location of Windows in the above script accordingly.

After that run:

sudo update-grub
