Were you trying any type of encryption? The blkid results show /dev/mapper/cryptswap.

Otherwise the rest looks fine, it even has the entries for win7 and the recovery partition in grub.cfg.

Are you sure there is no menu showing up? Is the monitor receiving a signal with a slight delay making you miss the menu?

i chose the encrypt home fold option during the installation but thats about it.
and the screen turns off and back on a couple of times while its loading.

i think it has something to do with the monitor, if i push the arrow keys while its a screen that says:
input signal out of range
change settings to 1366x768-60Hz

ive been randomly pressing the arrow keys at the screen and its been loading different options. still havent loaded windows tho
