I just recently decided to try out linux and so I installed Ubuntu alongside my Windows 7 install. However, the boot manager gives me an error when attempting to boot Windows. Something along the lines of "Incorrect boot path"

We need to see details.

Post the link to the BootInfo report that this creates. Is part of Boot-Repair:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Info
Boot Repair -Also handles LVM, GPT, separate /boot and UEFI dual boot.:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
You can repair many boot issues with this or 'Create BootInfo' report (Other Options) & post the link it creates, so we can see your exact configuration and diagnose advanced problems.

There is the URL Boot Repair gave me. Is there any other information needed to try and fix this?

Did you now try the new entries from Boot-Repair?

grub2's os-prober creates wrong style (BIOS) chain boot entry
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1024383
type of entry from Boot-Repair that should work.
menuentry "Windows UEFI bootmgfw.efi" {
menuentry "Windows Boot UEFI loader" {
Type of entry that does not work:
'Windows ...) (on /dev/sdXY)'
Some info in Post #3 on cleaning up menus, if desired.

Nevermind, Boot Repair seems to have solved my problem
