After install ubuntu 11.04 I don't see my windows in the boot menu
Please refer to my question #168423 about boot menu. I still can not see Windows 7 and Windows XP when I boot up my PC. I went into BIOS and change the disk that I installed Ubuntu to the first boot disk. Now, I can boot directly into Ubuntu but that doesn't give me the option to select Windows. I search in the forum and see FAQ #1678 updated by delance. So, I went ahead and ran the fdisk, and below is the result:

Let me clarify that the above disk: /dev/sdc: 640.1 GB is the one that I installed Winows 7 and XP on. It seems that Ubuntu doesn't recognize Windows on that disk. Anyone can help me to set up a boot menu so that I can select which OS to log in, please.
Thanks,
