   Mea culpa.   
   The pictures are correct.   
   My transcription was wrong.   
      
   The correction is sda1, sdb1, & sdc1, each of which is it's own HDD.   
      
   The only working Windows is HDD3 on sda1 (SATA1):   
      
      
   The other two Windows got corrupted (one by MS, the other by me):   
       
      
   Trial and error shows HDD3 to be "WDC WD10EZEX":   
       
      
   Where HDD3 was already set up in the BIOS to boot first:   
       
      
   What "seems" to be happening is:   
   o Disconnecting HDD2 & HDD3, Windows boots from HDD3.   
   o Connecting HDD2 & HDD3, Grub on either HDD2 or HDD3 takes over!   
      
   There is a good Ubuntu (an older version) on either HDD2 or HDD3.   
   That's likely where Grub is coming from.   
      
   I'll respond to the rest separately as I wanted to make this correction.
