Truth prevails
I have two hard disks. My $dows hard disk is Primary and Linux is secondary drive.Due to fear of overwriting the MBR of my $indows disk(primary)
, I removed this primary Windows Disk physically and installed PCLinuxOS and later Ubuntu Gutsy on my slave Disk.

Now Ubuntu's grub runs when I run my system. Now I am pressing F11 while booting to select whether I need to work on Win or Linux.

My problem is that since I attached my Windows disk as primary later, my Grub is not showing Windows partition.

How do I enable $indows (in primary disk) in the grub of my slave disk??

Primary Disk - $indows - hda
Slave Disk - Linux - hdd

I tried using Super Grub Disk but got confused !!

Please help.

Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file as root user on Ubuntu and add the following lines at the end of the file.

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

Save and reboot.

Strangely, this kind of option/suggestion was not there in "Super Grub Disk" !
