Question: I had dual boot, Win7 64bit, and Ubuntu 11.10

I updated to Ubuntu 12.04

Now I am not met with the prompt asking which OS to boot into (setup via EasyBCD in Windows while I had Ubuntu 11.10)

Is there an easy way to get the boot manager to recognize both OS's again, or do I need to reinstall Windows again and go through that headache again? Any programs similar to EasyBCD for Ubuntu?

Thanks

### How to use boot-repair to provide a "Bootinfo Summary"

If you can boot Ubuntu, you can install and run the [**Boot-Repair tool**](http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) and use it to create a [*BootInfo summary*](http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ "site for Boot Info Script used to create summary").

First, install the tool using `apt-get`. The terminal commands to do this are

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

```

1. After that completes, enter the command `boot-repair` to start the tool.
2. After a slight delay, `boot-repair` will prompt you to download the newest version. Since you just installed the latest version, answer `No`.
3. If `boot-repair` asks to install the `pastebinit` package, respond with `Yes`.
4. The tool will now scan your system and (eventually) display the window shown in the image below. Click on the `Create a Bootinfo summary` box/button. This will collect information about your system's boot configuration, but *will not make any changes.*

5. When the bootinfo summary has been created, `boot-repair` will display a message containing a URL which should look like this: `http://paste.ubuntu.com/123456/`. 

Please update/edit your question and add this URL. The information in the pastebin this link points to will help us diagnose the problem.
Boot into a Windows recovery CD (ask your computer manufacturer for one) and open a command prompt.
Then type this:

bootrec /fixmbr

Next you will see the Windows Bootloader instead of GRUB. Now follow the steps here to get GRUB back:
