I tried to install Slitaz 3.0 on my 5 year old laptop with Windows 7 on dual boot. But after successful installation Grub showed only Slitaz and not Windows 7. I tried to reinstall grub but got same result. Finally I removed it.
I want to install 4.0 version on the same laptop, so please fix this issue before final release.
Thanks,
Ripu

It's because SliTaz 3 uses Grub legacy, which doesn't really have support for Windows 7. There are guides online on how to add it though. SliTaz 4 might use grub2, which does does have support for Win 7, so it should run better.

No,
you did not find the solution because it is too easy? I assume that you installed Slitaz to the MBR. Then you will have a file /boot/grub/menu.lst in Slitaz. As root open this file with leafpad
Shut the session. Login as root. Then type:
#leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst &
Then you add the following lines after the Slitaz boot command:
title windows7 - sda1
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot
That works on my machine perfectly. @Trixar_za: apparently it has nothing to do with what Grub is installed, legacy or Grub2.
My slitaz boot command (hdd install) is like this:
title sliTaz 4.0 sda7 menu.list hier vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sda7
boot

The user must configure /boot/grub/menu.lst of grub legacy to chainload Windows 7,Vista,WinXP.

I had the same problem. But I have 2 hdd. One sada and the 2nd is ide.
Sada has Slitaz and windows has the ide.
You need to find the partion that the windows use to boot. Mine is /dev/hda1
This is what I had to do to make it see and boot.
#title other opperating systems : root (hda1,0) That is a comma in there
#
title windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
/dev/hda1

You need to get grub to see and boot from windows boot partion. I used the gpart
to find the boot for windows. It is the smaller partion.
