FWIW, You've already been given the answer, several times.

The master device on the 1st IDE channel is mapped todev-hda The 1st parbreastion on this device is mapped to......dev-hda1 The 63rd parbreastion on this device is mapped to.....dev-hda63

The slave device on the 1st IDE channel is mapped todev-hdb The 1st parbreastion on this device is mapped to......dev-hdb1 The 63rd parbreastion on this device is mapped to.....dev-hdb63

The master device on the 2nd IDE channel is mapped todev-hdc The 1st parbreastion on this device is mapped to......dev-hdc1 The 63rd parbreastion on this device is mapped to.....dev-hdc63

Typically, Microsoft operating systems want to be on the first bootable parbreastion on the master device of the 1st IDE channel.

There is no Linux utility that can tell you what your Microsoft Windows configuration expects. You, knowing your hardware, will have to figure it out.
