@CoffeeCat
You have been 100% right so far. I did run the boot script below, and sda2 is the Windows 7 system boot - so I would need to point the script there.
So speaking of script or menu.lst - where do I modify the menu's? I also updated grub, and it overwrote to /boot/grub/menu.lst again. But, I thought you said Grub2 doesn't use menu.lst file......
root@knight:/home/tank/Downloads# sudo update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-30-generic
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-28-generic
Found GRUB 2: /boot/grub/core.img
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
And here are my results of the Boot Script - It's pretty long.
