Screwed up the DualBoot (or never had it), only ubuntu loads (no win7 on the list)

Hello world!
I just installed a fresh 14.04 on my Asus 1215B laptop, which had a fresh installation of Win7 HP x64.
Now after completing the installation, the system booted automatically into Ubuntu. Since I am new to linux, I decided, that this is my journey and I started researching.

Step 1.
Someone recommended to edit the grub file and change the value of TIMEOUT to XX sec (90 was my choice) and make a
sudo apt-update if I am not mistaken. After reboot, I got a black screen, which after a pause gave me the following line:


Reboot and Select Proper boot Device
After research, I have done the

Step 2.
booted from live usb, installed
boot-info and run it, results were here:

I have also done Step 3 and ran the boot-repair, which now gives me a proper OS SELECTION page on boot, but there is only ubuntu on the list.

Can anyone please refer me to the proper actions needed to make win7 also appear on the list of GRUB.

The bootinfo output you posted shows windows 7 on the first partition and all the boot files seem to be present so the first thing I would suggest would be to boot Ubuntu, open a terminal and enter the following command:


sudo update-grub


Watch the output to see if there is any mention of windows being found, if so reboot and give it a try.

You have both Windows & Ubuntu installed in BIOS boot mode on a MBR partitioned drive.
But you also show an efi partition.
And you booted Boot-Repair in UEFI boot mode as it shows efibootmgr -v output.

Best to only boot in BIOS boot mode. You must make sure secure boot is off, and that UEFI mode is off or that CSM/BIOS mode is on.
Often if in UEFI mode with secure boot on, it will not let you boot anything other than a secure boot install. And CSM mode is not a secure boot install.
