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.
do you have your windows 7 recovery disk? if you do then great! put that in and boot to that. instead of re-installing Windows, there should be an option for a recovery console or something close to that. Here is a detailed explanation on what to do:

BE CAREFUL THOUGH!! i went through this process on my laptop with vista. once you fix the master boot record as the article shows you, you probably won't be able to see Ubuntu as an option to boot to when you turn on your computer. this is an easy fix though so don't worry. before you fix it you should restart your computer 2 or 3 times so that you can "train" your MBR(master boot record). once you have done that boot up your computer to a Ubuntu CD or USB and then follow this article here to fix your boot and reinstall grub. this worked for me a few days ago.

good luck!

PS. I'm not really familiar with EasyBCD
