grub2 - How can I add an entry for Ubuntu to the Windows 7 boot menu?

I have the following setup:


first partition is windows 7 partition
second partition - ubuntu 12.04 partition


while installing ubuntu I installed grub2 bootloader to ubuntu partition


mbr contains windows bootloader


I have tried using EasyBCD to add entry to windows boot menu, with no luck - this entry just boots into grub4dos command prompt


how to add Ubuntu to windows boot menu?


please do not suggest installing grub2 to mbr or wubi..




Update:


I followed the instructions to install EasyBCD and add an entry to Windows boot menu to boot Ubuntu step by step. When I reboot both the NeoGrub Bootloader and the Ubuntu menu items take me to the screen below.
