Grub2 fails to chainload Windows 7 with error "invalid signature"

526

As I began to suspect when I was writing my question, the issue is that Linux was installed using MBR, so that grub was unable to chainload an EFI Windows 7. I reinstalled Linux, this time making sure to select the UEFI boot option for the LiveCD from BIOS. With Linux now installed with an EFI grub, I was able to add a grub menu entry for Windows 7 and chainload successfully.

I used this link to create the menu entry for Windows 7.

After doing sudo vi /etc/grub.d/40_custom and adding the menu entry to the end of the file, don't forget to run sudo update-grub.

    I want to get the width of grand parent instead of parent. Is it possible with css?

    Here is my html and css:

    .outter {
      position: relative;
      width: 100%;  // In my case is 900px
      overflow: hidden;
      height: 250px;
    }
    .inner {
      position: absolute;
      top: 0px;
      left: 0px;
      right: 0px;
      width: 1000%; // In my case is 9000px
      height: inherit;
      transition: left 0.5s ease;
    }
    .outter .inner div {
      float: left;
      width: 50%; //How to get 450px instead of 4500px 
    }
    <div class="outter">
      <div class="inner">
        <div>One</div>
        <div>Two</div>
        <div>Three</div>
      </div>
    </div>

    Ha yeah I will do that as soon as the site lets me; yesterday when I tried to accept my own answer it informed me I need to wait a day, and just now it says 10 hours remain. But I'll take care of it tomorrow.
