Your grub entry for Windows is looking @ /dev/sdd1

menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)" {
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ntfs
	set root='(hd3,msdos1)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2652b0af52b084d9
	chainloader +1
}Which doesn't seem to exist in your drive listing(as if you had 4 drives)
I would highly recommend editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom
and only adding somthing like this:
menuentry "Windows Vista/7" {
	set root='(hd0,1)'
	chainloader +1
}
hd is your drive number ( sda =0 , sdb=1, sdc=2, sdd=3, etc..)
the number after the comma is the partition number on that drive:
sda1 = (hd0,1)  sda2=(hd0,2)
sdb1 = (hd1,1)  sdb1=(hd1,2)


after you modify the 40_custom you need to tell grub to regenerate the boot config:
sudo update-grub

Well I've finally gotten some hardware i can use linux on,  unfortunately, i have three harddrives in this machine, it appears Grub only wants to show Ubuntu though. I h ave a pastebin with my numbers and partitions, can anyone tell me which file to edit? I though it was boot/grub/menu.list from memory, but evidently, i am wrong.


Thanks in advance,

Mark.
