[SOLVED] Existing GRUB Win menu entries don't appear

Question

Hi,
Just finished a fresh dual boot (Arch-64/Win7-64), dual HDs installation.
I've installed os-prober prior to installing grub, and indeed a (seemingly) correct menu entry was added (in segment 30-see below).
Yet after reboot, this entry does NOT appear!
I've tried adding a respective entry in the 40-custom, (and ran ' grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' afterwards), yet still the same (menu entry appears in grub.cfg yet does NOT appear after reboot!).
Please advise!
Thanks!
my grub.cfg (note existing grub 30 & 40 segments
