I was going to recommand the grub2-mkconfig, but you show it isn't finding
the windows?

With my Fedora 21, I ran it with an strace to see what it was doing to find the
windows 7 that I have on machine. Seems it is the following.
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober

The script seems to use os-prober to find the windows partitions.
So, see if os-prober reports that it finds any windows partitions.

Not sure is 22 uses the same script, but you might try running it, and see if it
finds the windows partition.

What does cat /proc/partitions show?

Here it is:

% more /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

    8        0  488386584 sda
    8        1     665600 sda1

What do you get when you run os-prober and /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober??
Do you get nothing or an error?

What does blkid report.

Is it possible that something was inadvertently reformatted, like the efi partition?  If that were the case, am I screwed?
