Hi!
I cannot get my windows to load in Grub legacy.
I had installed Windows 7 on a GPT disk as it cannot be installed as MBR on EFI systems.
Windows has been installed with primary disk disconnected (/dev/sda)
this is the output of fdisk:
Code:

/dev/sda is the main HDD where Linux is
/dev/sdb is a data HDD
/dev/sdc is where Windows is
Output of gdisk on /dev/sdc

It also seems I cannot access /dev/sdc. Linux only recognizes one big partiton (/dev/sdc1) when the disk is partitioned in 4. 3 for Windows, 1 empty.
/dev/sda is a MBR disk
Help here is advised!
