grub2 - Cannot boot to Windows after installing Ubuntu and running boot-repair


I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on to a 2nd drive (sbd2) whilst the first driver (sbda) has Windows 7. When I rebooted I was not given the grub bootloader and booted straight to Ubuntu.


After running boot-repair, I now get the GRUB boot loader but with no Windows option.


Here is the output from boot-repair:

Please can you help me to restore the option of booting to Windows 7.


I can see my windows install NTFS partition mounted in Ubunutu


TIA



I solved this by posting the log from boot-repair on this forum thread.
The part of this answer that worked for me was



uncheck the default and in advanced choose the Windows install and sda
