[Bug 1059623] [NEW] Windows does not boot after using the Ubuntu installer

[Amarendra Kumar]

Public bug reported:

Installed Xubuntu alongside Windows7, choosing to put the bootloader on
sda1 (Windows). After reboot, Xubuntu loads ok, but Windows fails to
boot.

Details mailed to boot-repair devs:
-------------------------------------------

I installed Xubuntu with Windows 7. Earlier I had Ubuntu on 30GB partition. Deleted the partition and installed Xubuntu on 20Gb, 10GB is unallocated.
I am afraid, while isntalling I chose to install Grub on "hda" or "dev/sda1"->[Win7] rather than "dev/sda2".

Now when I try to boot into Win7 from Grub menu I simply return to the same Grub Menu without any error message after few seconds.
Tried boot-repair:

Before fix:

After fix:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251484/

But the issue still exists.
