Suggestions for the future:
1) If you are going to keep Windows 7 (assuming it's an MBR install) It should be disk 1 (assuming they are SATA and you are running all three at once) and It would also be best to have Linux Lite grub on the MBR of disk 1.
2)However if you are powering these disks on an off with a mechanical and/or logical switch, or plugging and unplugging them and/or switching them, each one should have its own grub in MBR on its own disk otherwise Linux could record the wrong UUIDs that mismatch the BIOS entries when you power up respective disks.
3) Whichever OS is in control of grub (should be Linux Lite and/or if EFI Windows 7 to avoid issues) must run update-grub after any kernel changes to any of the other systems listed in its grub or they will not boot from their new kernel mods after updating or upgrades.
4) Boot repair disks for MBR disks can only add configuration entries to the OSs, and you probably now have extra grub configuration entries in every system you are running. All that gets purged is entries on the grub screen not entries in the grub configurations of the OSs. Repeated use of boot repair disks on boxes running multiple Linux systems will eventually fill/mess up grub configurations and functions like updating and kernel removal tools.
5) True OS is a slick little OS with some nice BSD file features, but for versatility and security Debian LAMP with SSH and Apache2 is the way to go if you want to learn about servers and such.
