Go to solution Solved by KemoKa,

Found these instructions on another site.

First, yes,

1. You will need a repair disk. Have it on a USB drive or optical disc.

 

2: on the installation screen where it asks you to install windows, click on "Repair Your Computer" on the lower left corner of your screen

 

3: Now go to command prompt(It probably will show a window saying "Trying to repair windows automatically", close it) and type bootrec/fixmbr

 

4: after it finishes GRUB is gone and you can now boot into windows directly.

 

hopefully this works for you. If not, come back and we'll work something else out.

So i recently got my dual boot working (Ubuntu14.04 win7 ult) but after some issues in linux i decided to reinstall ubuntu, after doing so insted of being left with the gui to choose the bootdrive i simply boot straight into ubuntu. from within ubuntu i can still see all my windows files on the other partition, so basically i am wondering how do I get into windows?! Its is quite important to get it working soon so any help would be much apreciated.

 

im running stock ubuntu 14.04 and windows 7 ultimate both 64bit 

 

cheers!

somehow you either got rid of or disabled GRUB. Normally GRUB replaces the windows boot loader and gives you the menu when you boot. You either need to re-enable GRUB or just replace the windows boot loader, and windows should boot fine.

It's times like these when I prefer just putting each OS on its own drive and just picking it from the boot menu...

So how do I redo the windows bootloader? repair disk?
