I installed ubuntu 9.10 first and then installed Windows 7. After that i followed the tutorial here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD) to reinstall grub. After i ran the command update-grub, it detected Windows 7 automatically and added it to the grub.cfg file. However, now when I try to start windows from the grub, It doesn't load windows and instead just shows the grub again after a second. Here is my fdisk -l
