The one with W7 on it, I should have thought, as that's the one you want
to start. Why not just try it? And when you find out which partition is
which, why not set the bootable flag on the right one? I.e. the one with
grub in it.

I assume you mean "to" it. (I have a nasty, ever-growing suspicion that
Americans not only don't know their tenses, but they think backwards -
either that or I do.) :-)
Again, the answer's a lemon - suck it and see.
No offence intended.
