Windows 7 loader problem

Question

i have installed ubuntu on a partition and then i went to windows 7 and installed "easybcd" software to make grub as default loader and i also selected skip boot menu or something like that. From then on when i try to boot windows 7 from grub my system restarts and continues loading from grub. My windows boot loader menu is missing. i have attached a picture which clearly shows i have windows 7 on a partition.Please help ![

Welcome to askubuntu! "selected skip boot menu or something like that." Isn't very clear (at least to me) please [edit] your post to provide accurate information. You may benefit from reviewing http://askubuntu.com/help/how-to-ask Thank you for helping us help you! — Elder Geek, Oct 01 '16 at 17:05
With Windows 7 you don't need EasyBCD or any other Windows bootloader editors if you use Grub as the primary bootloader. — David Foerster, Oct 01 '16 at 17:15
Easybcd can only chainload to Grub. Windows-boot-loader has changed or is damaged now. — mook765, Oct 01 '16 at 17:27

Try booting into Ubuntu and install a program called boot-repair. Install it by opening the terminal then typing this in:

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

To open it by either typing in the terminal:boot-repair,or from the launcher. Then click on recommended repair and follow the instruction. Hope this helped!
