Windows 7 not in boot options under GRUB
sudo fdisk -l in Kali Linux terminal prints:

I have just installed Kali Linux on my 5GB external hard disk. My Windows 7 system is in /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda1 is a backup partition.
The Windows 7 option does not appear during restart – I think it has something to with installing Kali Linux. It asked me to install "master boot" (not quite sure about that).
I need Windows 7 to be able to switch between Kali Linux and Windows 7.
