Stories similar to Grub only shows Chakra . Windows partition is missing.

My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting.

I installed Crunchbang today with the intention of dual booting, but Windows is not in my GRUB menu...I've looked around and tried some things, but GRUB still isn't seeing Windows. Here are some commands I've run:user@crunchbox:~$ sudo os-prober grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.

I have one Ubuntu 13.04 and one Win7 on my system, but grub seems to be detecting them multiple times for some reason (see below) and I end up with two Ubuntus on my grub menu.

I installed lubuntu 12.04 on this machine, an old Thinkpad T30, alongside Windows XP. Since I can't access Quickbooks through lubuntu, the machine being too slow to run a virtual machine reliably, I used grub-customizer to move XP to the top of the grub list, and set the save-default option. Now, any time update-grub runs, I get this error:

Code: Installation finished.

Although I have several kernel versions in /boot and having them in my grub.cfg, they are not displayed in the grub boot menu.

Running update-grub seems to work, as it puts the kernels in the grub.cfg in /boot/grub.

So I installed windows 7 after #!, tried to restore grub but it couldn't find my #!, so being the impatient person I am, I thought I would just install a 2nd #! into a 3gb unallocated space, so I would have 2 #!,s but it would reinstall grub and magically show my first #!

I cant start Grub Customizer in ubuntu 12.04 after updating the kernel:

exception '15AssertException' with message 'found unexpected file on path: /etc/grub.d/10_linux' in /build/buildd/grub-customizer-3.0.2/src/Model/ListCfg.cpp:916

Also update-grub command shows two identical kernels:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-36-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic Foun

I installed Windows XP, and I was missing GRUB.
