How can I install and launch Windows Server in dual boot?
I my Server, I have a sda disk, on it I installed a Windows Server 2008, and a CentOS7.2 system.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 209717247 104857600 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 209719296 1000214527 395247616 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 209721344 693014527 241646592 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda6 693016576 694040575 512000 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 694042624 752381951 29169664 8e Linux LVM
I use fdisk, there up shows the partitions. there seems the sda1, sda2, sda3 belongs to the Windows.
Now my problem is, when I restart the Server, it will launch the CentOS7.2 system, it do not launch the Windows, there is no options. how can I launch the Windows Server?
My server is SuperMicro.

fdisk doesn't know or care what is stored on your disks but rather tells you that the partition is labeled as containing a "different" filesystem. If you installed both it is likely that those partitions contain Windows data but they don't have to.
To restore dual boot capabilities you will either have to manually add an entry for Windows on in your current bootloader or you will have to restore the Windows boot loader and add an entry to the Windows bootloader for your Linux system. Either way it's important to check where your current bootloader is installed because it's likely that you will overwrite it.

One option would be to launch from a bootable Windows medium and run the repair tools. One of them, I currently can't tell you which, is able to repair the boot loader. "FixMBR" and "FixBoot" should help to look for it. It might be a good idea to create a backup as both systems might end up being inaccesible.
