grub2 and device mapping

[Time]

I had no problem installing but grub won't let me boot my windows 7 drive. I tried update-grub and this is what I get

Generating grub.cfg ...

Edit - you right about that!

Time: I've been searching for a fix, but so far have found only bug reports. One thing that might make ya feel a little bit better is that Mark Shuttleworth, Mr. Ubuntu himself, was plagued by this problem.

I think I have figured it out but I still need some help.....Ok when I get to the grub2 menu I edited the windows entry and it booted windows after that but when I rebooted It didn't save my changes can anyone tell me how I would get this to save?

What I have done is that I edited the grub.cfg file to add the line I needed. all that grub had was chainloader +1 above that line I added: set root=(hd1) this is my windows 7 drive.......and now grub2 works for me.....

they say not to edit the grub.cfg. How else could I do this?

You should be able to edit it.Just make sure you update grub afterwards.*I think.
