Hi, I have had a similar problem, and it was about the disk and partition numering. When I configured grub, it seems to me that SATA disk was disk 0, but when botting it was disk 1, I saw you try some combination of numbers, but, you are sure about partition number ? it was in fack at first partition your windows system ? I will try something that way, I could help more if you print a fdisk -l here.
