Partition table entries are not in disk order
i got some thing like this when saw grub.conf
"# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

Thanks alot the issue is resolved but one more thing that i wanted to know that why the grub loader didn't add windows entry to grub.conf file is there any installation mistake which i did ?
Grub doesn't care - Anaconda (the Redhat/CentOS installer) tries to build entries for you.
But IIRC only for NTFS, not Windoze systems installed in FAT partitions.
