atenz almost 12 yearsI didn't understand why you mentioned the absence of CD drive , if by that you mean , to boot the live Ubuntu Cd , or Windows 7 cd , please specify. Also you can boot to Ubuntu live through Usb. Drive

atenz almost 12 yearsType
sudo update-grubfrom Ubuntu in Terminal window. and observe if it mentions windows 7 or not , report here.I guess you need to install grub in EFI partition. -
Dan almost 12 yearsyes it mentions windows, sorry about the weird cd-drive post, I mean to say I cant run windows repair or anything from a cd
