make sure you install grub on the windows drive, normally this would be sda.
don’t install on the Linux drive, or windows will not boot with grub.
This is assuming you have windows on your first drive and installing linux on the second.

reverse lookup of uuid hard drive in linux – ubuntu
ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -alh
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 2006-10-19 13:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 2006-10-19 13:32 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-10-19 13:32 77755aaf-f843-424c-aabd-46d52cc05d5c -> ../../hda2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-10-19 13:32 8038788838787F4A -> ../../hda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-10-19 13:32 ba8e5cfb-12fb-4601-b5ff-2f2787c69cb3 -> ../../hda5
this way you can tie back the sda to uuid.
Linux (ubuntu) check uuid of partition
example
vol_id -u /dev/sda1
or for more information use
vol_id /dev/sda1
very handy if you have ubuntu and the fstab is using uuid
it is more robust… i am learning to hate that word.
