Re: cant boot windows
Maybe, the installer did not detect the boot loader for Win.
You can try & update the grub menu list by opening the Terminal & input this code
It will then ask for your login password, Put in your pass, hit Enter & it should update the Grub Menu List.
Reboot.
If it did not work, Then try this website = http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub-disk/
Look for SGD 1 , Download the ( Tool ) Image ISO & Restore the Win MBR. The Instructions are on this page = http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Boot_Problems
Hope this Helps Resolve your issue. Have a Good Day.
