Hello,
I installed Windows 7 on my new pc, and I wanted to dual-boot ubuntu with it. So I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7, but now I can't boot windows anymore.
First there was an option to boot windows 7 in the grub boot menu, when I tried to boot windows 7, it went back to the grub menu. So I did bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr, after that the grub menu didn't show up anymore, and no OS booted.
So I fixed grub with a couple of commands. Grub is working again and I can boot in Ubuntu, but I still can't boot in windows. When I try to boot in Windows, there is only a black screen with a white exclamation mark on it, I waited 10 minuted but nothing happens.
These are the results of Boot_info_script
