Ubuntu 12.04 not booting after installation alongside Windows 7 in UEFI mode

Question

I've tried to fix GRUB using Boot Repair. It didn't work, but it produced an info summary*.

When the computer starts Windows 7 is launched without any GRUB message.

*_{editor's note: the link to which has died}

I see you have chosen to install grub. But your laptop setup indicates it boot through efi.

So you need to install grub-efi not grub.

Re run the boot-repair program and choose recommended repair.

More information is available in How to boot Ubuntu from EFI/UEFI?.

Let us know how it went.

Try running this command.

sudo update-grub

(make sure it shows an entry for Windows 7)

sudo reboot
