Just any howto about adding window from any linux distro should work.
Just google for it
e.g. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
well you need to read about the documentation of your bootlaoder and know where the configuration files and your windows files for booting are.
as booting "window" is in any bootloader the same you can use any guide for the bootloader you use as of now |

This is what I have in my grub.conf:
| Code: | title Windows 8.1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
Adjust (hd0,0) if your Windows install is on another partition.

Your example doesn't work for me
I tried such example before I wrote this topic
I get 'booting Windows 8.1'
and an error that system was not found
I have | Code: |
default 2
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Windows 8.1
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Gentoo Linux 3.10.7
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.10.7-gentoo real_root=/dev/sda1
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.10.7-gentoo |
Linux is on sda, Win7 is on sdb and Win8.1 is on sdc
from fdisk -l: | Code: |
...
/dev/sdc1 2048 616447 300M Windows recovery environment
/dev/sdc2 616448 821247 100M EFI System
/dev/sdc3 821248 1083391 128M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sdc4 1083392 347617279 165,2G Microsoft basic data

you may adjust rootnoverify (hd0,0) until it works, you can edit it on the fly for test purposes with the e key in grub2 usually.
try hd1,0 hd0,1, hd2,0 hd0,2 ...... and so on until it works thats the fastest way. |

I have 1,0 for Windows 7 so I thought it will work with hd2,0 but 2,0 2,1 2,2 does not work and chainloader +1 +2 not

run | Code: | | parted -l wgetpaste |
and post the url returned here. wgetpaste is in portage if you have not emerged it earlier. suspect sda and sdb may need bios mode and sdc needs uefi.

This is most likely the problem. Grub legacy does not support EFI. You will need to either get a patched version or use another bootloader such as grub2.

of course it does it's ASUS M5A99X EVO with the latest BIOS 
but for me the problem is that switching from grub-0.97 to grub-2 is like moving to systemd
