Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my laptop. During installation I selected the "some-thing else option" as I already had Windows 7 installed. In the "device for boot-loader" dropdown menu I chose "Windows 7 loader on sda1". But now Windows is not starting up. When I switch on my laptop, grub does have an option for Windows on /dev/sda1 but on selecting that option the screen goes black for a few seconds and returns to grub. I tried using BootRepair and got the following report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6246530/ . I also tried recovering Windows with the recovery option present in the backup discs. The recovery was completed and a fresh copy of Windows was installed, but again grub failed to start WIndows. So how can I load Windows OS again?
Thank You.
