I've got a system running 4 OSs (installed in this order):

1. Windows XP Pro 32-bit [NTFS]


2. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit [NTFS]


3. Windows 10 Home 64-bit [NTFS]


4. Linux Lite 3.6 [EXT4]

The system has 2 hard drives

1. 160GB SATA (Disk 1 in Windows)


2. 1TB SATA (Disk 0 in Windows)

Disk 1 [160GB] is the boot drive and has 4 partitions; one for each
OS. Disk 0 [1TB] has 2 partitions: a small partition for swap (created
during Linux install) and the rest for data sharing between
OSs/installing large programs.

I've added all 3 Windows to Grub via Grub Customizer. However they will not boot.

I added 'ntldr /bootmgr' to the Windows XP entry (after chainloader +1) - this takes me to the Windows 10 loader where I can select between all 3 Windows installations (I am a slight Linux noob, I only found this via google search- in other words; I don't know all the commands/codes/etc outside of very, VERY basic ones).

However that puts me at extra steps I feel are unnecessary and waste time (Boot to GRUB > Select Windows OS/Loader > Boot to Windows Loader > Select Windows OS > Boot to Windows OS)

I'd like to simply 'Boot to GRUB > Select Windows OS > Boot to Windows OS'.

Is this possible?

  Because you have XP - and you shouldn't be using it - then we can infer all your OSes have been installed in legacy mode. If so then there's no other way, Windows will hijack all other Windows bootloaders.

  You have to do repairs to each Windows install, by moving boot flag in its install, since already installed. To get each MS to have its own boot loader make a primary NTFS partition and set its boot flag on, then install the 2nd product in it. Multibooters, Pictures here worth 1000+ words Older Windows but same for all BIOS versions. multibooters.co.uk/multiboot.html Only final one with boot flag will be bootable from a Windows boot loader, but grub will find & add each install if boot files found. But Windows 10 may lock all of them if fast start up is on.
