I appreciate the ease of installation of Gag, however, my objectives
still not being met, when I boot into the Windows partition, I get an
error that shows little red squares in a diagonal pattern across the
screen. No Windows?

Absolutely.  I've happily used Grub, but turned to GAG when I went to
RAID-0.

Grub is an excellent bootloader and learning tool.  The only reason I
didn't include it in my recommendations to the OP was that I figured
he'd be happier at this point with something very easy and automagic.
