I had installed windows 7 and after that i tried to install ubuntu 14.04 with usb as dual boot. I did the disk partitioning by clicking something else at the installation prompt window. I also left space for swap area. I think that I have made mistake in the mount point since i chose '/'. Now when I restart the pc it directly boots from ubuntu(it doesnt show the grup menu) and at the hard drives it only shows the 30 GB I had saved for ubuntu (it doesn't show my windows hard drives). Are my windows files saved and is it possible to return this action?

Once you login to Ubuntu Linux you should open the terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and then issue the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
to install boot-repair and fix this issue.
