Dual booting Windows 7 problem

[FuriousGamer]

I now have two HDDs installed in my laptop, one has my main OS Kali Linux 2.0 and the other has Windows 7. I can change what OS to boot into from the BIOS but thats not very convenient for quick switching when I want to game or anything else Windows related. I tried using EasyBCD to add Linux to the Windows boot menu but it just loads a black screen with a flashing ( _ ). I then tried updating Grub on Kali but its still not showing Windows.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply but its still not showing up. I'm gonna just leave it as changing the boot order in the BIOS.

I've had success with EasyBCD, using GRUB legacy to point to the partition/drive where the linux boot loader is stored.

That was my first attempted and all I got was a black screen.

I was wondering why you could not select your os from the GRUB boot menu. So was it on the second drive?
