dual boot windows7 with with centos7
 
hiiii all

I had installed Windows 7 on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 and then I installed Centos 7.
Since then I cant find Windows entry in the Grub.
And i had tried to use all kind of solution found on the net I still cant see any entry.
I had edited 40_custom script adding:

cat <<EOF
menuentry "windows 7" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='hd0,msdos1'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root FCDAE998DAE95006
chainloader +1
}
EOF

then this command grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg

[root@localhost]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg

Can you boot to windows 7 from grub command line? Or your trouble is that no menuentry for Windows 7 is present in grub menu at boot?

YOur grub2-mkconfig command did not show any output for windows. Were you eve able to boot windows after the CentOS install? Open a terminal and as root run the command: fdisk -l(Lower Case Letter L in the command) and post the output here?
