boot - Unable to get back Windows 7 partition entry in Grub2 Ubuntu 12.04

I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed on my system along with Windows 7, running perfectly. Then I upgraded to 14.04 and many things in many things went wrong so I decided to format just my Ubuntu partition (deleted it and set it as root /) and install 12.04 once again, on that partition. This time, the grub disappeared. I tried grub-update, I got it back but without the Windows partition, even though it does exist.


I ran boot-repair disk, it said everything went fine, but still not getting my Windows partition entry in grub yet.


Here is a LINK of the execution trace from boot-repair. It says in the end that /mnt/boot-sav/sda3/ may need repair, which is the partition of Windows.


I already tried to run a repair with Windows bootable disk but it says that the automatic repair can't be performed.


I'm still not getting what needs to be done.


How to solve it ?
