I had Win8 installed with Ubuntu running happily. Then I formatted Win8 and installed Win7. Then i repaired Grub. Now Grub doesn't show Windows 7 no matter what I do!


sudo fdisk -l

/dev/sda2 is Window 7, /dev/sda5 is my Ubuntu partition.


sudo os-prober

/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (12.04):Ubuntu:linux
I've tried to update grub as well.
