Hello,
before installing Ubuntu 14.04 SLT, I have installed Windows 7, and they worked well using dual boot, but something happened that Windows doesn't boot anymore and needs repairing, but I'm affraid dual boot gets lost.
Is there a procedure to do this?

Thanks a lot

Most Windows repairs will restore the Windows boot loader to the MBR.
You just then need to reinstall the grub boot loader to the MBR with your live installer either with Boot-Repair or manually.
