Have you tried, sudo update-grub, to see if that adds
windows to your /boot/grub/menu.list. Also, take a
look at your /boot/grub/menu.list to see if it has an
entry for windows in it. If not, do the update-grub
thing for sure. Not sure if this will work but if your
menu list doesn't have all your installed OSs listed,
then update-grub is the first thing to try rather than
any reinstalls or repartitioning.
HTH,
