grub2 - Can't Boot Windows (Gives "Repair Windows" Option)

I have a few extra hardrvies without anything on them. So about a week ago I created a "Live" Usb to see if my system was compatible.

After a week of testing and playing I liked it enough to install it (Ubuntu 13.10) and yesterday I installed it to a second hard drive, everything went OK but I think its good to note that Ubuntu installer said something along the lines of

"Ubuntu did not detect any other operating systems"

However I did have Win7(64bit) installed. I thought nothing of this at the time (as I am installing to a second drive).

Now I selected the bottom option,

1. created a partition table,



2. Partition off 70gbs for "/" (EXT4),


3. 8GB for swap (80gb drive).

For boot loader I put it on the same drive as install. I did this because I did not want to

• Interfere with the MBR and windows boot loader




• I wanted to select it in the F12 menu of my bios (Select the drive
  too boot from)





• I did not want Grub to replace WBL for multiple reasons (I hear
  its unstable, and Refer to letter the above point)

Then today, I wanted to boot into windows. I restart the computer, my BIOS goes to Windows (Like I wanted, no OS select) then windows says it needs to repair or start. I have tried both. The repair option goes into a loop of, the boot screen, loading windows files. Now start windows (Somehow) boots me into Linux.

When Linux starts It says it had a error, specifically a crash.

Also, I can view all my windows files too! My data is intact!

It is also good to note my specs:

• EvGA GT 640


• i5 3.1 Quad


• 8gb Ram


• Gigabyte mother board w/ 3-D Bios

4 Drives:

• 160gb SATA NTFSWindows)




• 80gb SATA NTFS(Renders ect)




• 80GB SATA EXT4(Linux)



• 1TB SATA NTFS(Games, Fraps records)

Now it seems while I was trying NOT to screw up my windows boot loader I seem to have.
