Solved, see post #8.
Hi,
I hope I'm in the right forum category. I've just installed Ubuntu on a new hard drive, and it works fine, but when I try to launch Windows 7 from GRUB, I get an error:
No such device: ac2e30ab2e307086
No such partition.
I'm not sure what's happening, but that device ID seems kind of short. For what it's worth, the HDD is a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB. I've seached for a solution to this and haven't found one, but I did notice a diagnosis script for loading issues, so here's the result:
