Yes, and same answer as the previous.

I'm back.
The unwanted memory test entry is gone from the grub menu. The grub.cfg lines
that I pasted into my previous post are gone.
The sda2 windows-7 entry is still in the grub menu, and the corresponding lines
are still in grub.cfg. I get the impression from the grub2-mkconfig output
that deleting those lines from grub.cfg won't help; they'll just be restored.
That menu entry is active, but when I select it, the windows-7 boot starts, and
later gets stuck. I believe that that problem is out of the scope of this
thread, so I'll go no further with it. The sda1 windows-7 entry works fine.
What I started this thread for is fixed, so I'm tagging this thread SOLVED. I
thank everyone who tried to help.
Bill.
Windows has a startup partition as well as the main partition, windows starts
from the first. The grub2-mkconfig process picks up both. You can delete it
from grup2.cfg with a text editor. With the current primary grub menu
generation by blscfg usage grub2.cfg rarely gets rebuilt on updates so the
change will stay.
I commented those lines out. The sda2 windows entry no longer shows up in the
grub menu; there were no other changes in the grub menu. Both Fedora and
windows-7 boot as they should.
Thank-you Robert.
