I have swaped the hard drive from my dual boot box and ran into the same problem trying get windows 7 to boot. As you also quite fast realice by reading different forums that changing windows boot parameters is a quite big hassle. I would not go that way! You have another simpler solution. |

Change the hard disk device ID to the same value as the old disk. It is written on MBR. Change the UUID of the windows partition to the same as on the old partition. UUID on NTFS partition is written at the beginning of the partition at 0x48-4F. |

So by changing 2x16 bytes of data your machine should boot again correctly. Also if you grub is not on the same physical disk as windows then you need trick windows by changing the order with grub before booting (see map command) |
