sda3 is the windows 7 I am trying to boot
sda5 is the windows 8 enterprise edition that I tried to install to fix the boot problems, but there was a missing file so it does not work.

Title:
  Windows 7 Not Booting

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My computer came with Windows 7 installed on it. I wanted to try
  Ubuntu, so I installed it alongside Windows 7 and everything was fine.
  I needed more space on my Windows 7 partition, so I deleted the Ubuntu
  partition from the hard drive. When I went to restart I got a blank
  screen. I reinstalled Ubuntu allongside Windows 7 and was able to
  restart and boot Windows. The next day I got the same blank screen, so
  I reinstalled Ubuntu over Ubuntu, leaving the Windows 7 partition
  alone. After that, when I try to boot Windows 7 it keeps sending me
  back to the select an OS page. I get an error that says:

  The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
  properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
  mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
  For example type on the command line:

              mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda3 /media/OS

  whenever I try to access the Windows OS portion of the hard drive.

  When I try the command it does not work and I get a message saying
  that "only root can do that"

  I can not resume Windows to shut it down properly though, because I
  must first unhibernate Windows.

  I believe this mat be a bug.
