I have to keep the bootable usb inserted in order to load Ubuntu even after installation in the hard drive, and when it opens up it is the initial try or install menu which existed before installation. While working with partitions, I formatted the windows seven loader partition accidently. Once, after restart, the screen showed 'Missing Operating system' message, though that isn't the case now.

1I didn't get it: does Ubuntu get loaded now without the bootable USB inserted, or not? Side note: 14.04 is ancient, consider using 18.04. – Hi-Angel Jul 26 '18 at 18:52

This happened to me once. Probably the GRUB is broken.
Try this:
- Plug your bootable USB stick and boot from it
- Install and run
boot repair:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
- Use the option
recommended repair - Unplug the bootable USB and try to boot from the hard drive (maybe you will have to change the boot order in the BIOS)
PS: 14.04 is a little bit old, I would recommend you to install Ubuntu 16.04
