Vista and Ubuntu 12.04

Although I installed 12.04 about 2 years ago, until now I have not had a need to boot into windows... well, I need to and there is no option at startup to boot into windows, it automatically boots into Ubuntu. Help please.

Post link to BootInfo report.

Boot-Repair can only fix a few minor issues in Windows. Do you have a Windows repairCD or flash drive?

Windows 7 repair USB, Also Vista if service pack installed

I do not have a Windows repairCD or flash drive. When I purchased this computer many years ago, it did not come with one.

I have followed the instructions via 'help.ubuntu.../Boot-Repair' in Terminal. I am going to restart my puter to see if it worked.

Okay, so restarted puter and do not see an option to boot in windows. I did write down the url link provided, should I send request for help to the email provided or post the link here?

Post link here. I have not even seen Yann in forums for ages, I think he is overloaded.

Those of us in the Forum should be able to help.
