Cannot boot to GRUB screen after installing Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu, even after using boot repair












0














I had Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed. Then I dual booted it with Windows 7. After using boot repair from live USB, it showed




boot successfully repaired




But I still I can't see the GRUB screen and it directly boots Windows 7.

=================== Recommended repair
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will restore the [(generic mbr)] MBR in sda, and make it boot on sda3.
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s fix-windows-boot


Quantity of real Windows: 1
Will restore the MBR_TO_RESTORE : sda (generic mbr) into sda
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

Boot successfully repaired.

You can now reboot your computer.

=================== Recommended repair
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will restore the [(generic mbr)] MBR in sda, and make it boot on sda3.
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s fix-windows-boot


Quantity of real Windows: 1
Will restore the MBR_TO_RESTORE : sda (generic mbr) into sda
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
0+1 records in

=================== Recommended repair
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will restore the [(generic mbr)] MBR in sda, and make it boot on sda3.
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s fix-windows-boot


Quantity of real Windows: 1
Will restore the MBR_TO_RESTORE : sda (generic mbr) into sda
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

Boot successfully repaired.

You can now reboot your computer.

First try to open boot options menu by pressing f9[some devices may have different key]
and then select ubuntu from there. Once your ubuntu succesfully boots up. open a terminal and check if grub is installed or not



sudo apt-get install grub


and finally



sudo update-grub


This command identifies if there is any other OS apart from ubuntu and adds that OS to grub list
