This is interesting. I've had various versions of Windows on various
machines over the years and I've never managed to get grub to start Windows
unless Windows was on the first primary partition. Yet in your case no part
of Windows is on the first primary partition. What's your secret? Or has
the latest version of grub been fixed in this respect?
