Try formatting your pendrive and re-install Windows using proper version of winusb. Then follow the steps below.

1) You should allocate the space of Windows 7 (min 20GB)

  • Open the terminal and type gparted

  • If not installed, please install using

    sudo apt-get install gparted

  • Partition a disk where you need to install Windows 7

2) Insert the Windows 7 CD and install it and the drive allocated for windows. After installation, the windows boot loader will override the grub, so there will not be any menu listing for choosing Ubuntu.

3) Insert the live CD of any Ubuntu distribution and run the following commands in the terminal.

sudo mount /dev/<device_name> /mnt #device_name of Ubuntu installation (ex. sda3)
sudo rm -rf /boot
sudo ln -s /mnt/boot /boot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-pc
sudo grub-install /dev/sda #no device number here
sudo umount /boot

4) Restart the device. It should work fine.
