If you want to boot disk0, then you will have to re-install Windows in Legacy mode - you have it installed UEFI (EFI partition and GUID partition tables is dead giveaway) and Chimera won't boot it. Otherwise, you can use Clover as your boot loader and it will boot it.

Not sure about disk2 as it doesn't have the EFI partition. If you disconnect disk0 and boot with disk1 as your default boot HDD, you should see OS X icon, Windows NTFS icon and System Reserved icon at the Chimera boot screen - Sysem Reserved is partition to select for booting this drive IF it is installed Legacy boot mode. To determine, check in BIOS if the drive is labeled EFI or not.
