My hard drive started showing signs of failure recently. This single hard drive had a dual boot system that had Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04. I was backed up, so I was OK, right? Right!
I backed up my Windows partition using Acronis True Image with a sector by sector scheme and had the backup stored on an external USB drive. I also had Ubuntu stored on that same USB drive having backed up the home directory using the Ubuntu program "Backups".
Well, long story short, I had beaucoup problems with the restoration of the data. But finally, it took after repartitioning the new hard drive with the Acronis Rescue disk. I installed Windows from the USB drive and then requested that the MBR be restored.
Upon rebooting, there was no grub (I thought this might have been stored by Acronis in the MBR), only a >grub rescue prompt. Anyway, the repartitioning left me the original partition area for the Ubuntu which I installed from a Live CD. I then restored my Linux backup using the restore function of "Backups". I then used "Boot-repair" from the Live CD to fix the grub.
Upon reboot, I found that the only entry in the grub was the Ubuntu partition, and the Ubuntu advanced and Mem86 entries. No Windows. I updated the grub. No change. Os-prober saw no windows information. I followed another suggestion in the forums to make a 15_Windows file, make it executable, and then update the grub. Still nothing. I stopped at that point to get more advice as I know my way around Linux but I'm certainly no expert.
Here is the output of fdisk -l:

I also ran BootInfoScript. Here is the output of that:

Some of this looks a little strange to me, but again, I'm no expert.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
I backed up my Windows partition using Acronis True Image with a sector by sector scheme and had the backup stored on an external USB drive. I also had Ubuntu stored on that same USB drive having backed up the home directory using the Ubuntu program "Backups".
Well, long story short, I had beaucoup problems with the restoration of the data. But finally, it took after repartitioning the new hard drive with the Acronis Rescue disk. I installed Windows from the USB drive and then requested that the MBR be restored.
Upon rebooting, there was no grub (I thought this might have been stored by Acronis in the MBR), only a >grub rescue prompt. Anyway, the repartitioning left me the original partition area for the Ubuntu which I installed from a Live CD. I then restored my Linux backup using the restore function of "Backups". I then used "Boot-repair" from the Live CD to fix the grub.
