dual boot - GRUB does not detect Windows

I have finally installed Ubuntu on my second drive. When I start my computer GRUB only offers me to boot Ubuntu, not Windows 7. What needs to be done so that I can choose between Ubuntu and Windows in GRUB?



When I press F12 for boot menu at startup and I choose Windows Boot Manager it boots into Windows 7.






I ran command sudo fdisk -l and here is log (http://pastebin.com/Cgv1igHc):
