in terminal: sudo update-grub

 

if it doesn't detect it try manually booting into Windows by selecting 'windows boot manager' in the bios. 

 

if that doesn't work you have corrupted something, probably your Windows boot partition.

Use a Windows repair CD. It will remove grub and reinstall Windows boot manager. 

 

Now who would want windows back? can the windows boot manager boot Linux (the non-uefi one and the uefi one?) will it work cross-updates?
