Up until F16 (and it *might* have done it once during the early alpha testing stages), windows has been detected and included in grub during install. But the last few installs haven't included it and not included on my current install.
No parititioning changes have taken place, no hardrives have been changed/moved, nothing has been changed. So if windows is on (or what it normally is called) /dev/sda then how I do add my Windows 7 to grub2?
os-prober isn't installed by default and it's the grub2-related app that probes other disks and partitions for other OSs.
Once you install it, before over-writing "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg", either run "grub-mkconfig" and check the stdout output or (for example) "grub2-mkconfig -o /root/grubtest.cfg". If you're happy with the result, run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" to update your grub boot menu.
