The problem is that you installed GRUB stage1 in the PBR of the Windows
partition (sda1), this breaks the boot of Windows.

To fix it, please follow this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootSectorFix 
If this doesn't work, you will need to use the "fixboot" command from a Windows Repair CD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsRecoveryCd).

Title:
  Windows does not boot after using the Ubuntu installer

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installed Xubuntu alongside Windows7, choosing to put the bootloader
  on sda1 (Windows). After reboot, Xubuntu loads ok, but Windows fails
  to boot.

  Details mailed to boot-repair devs:
  -------------------------------------------

  I installed Xubuntu with Windows 7. Earlier I had Ubuntu on 30GB partition. Deleted the partition and installed Xubuntu on 20Gb, 10GB is unallocated.
  I am afraid, while isntalling I chose to install Grub on "hda" or "dev/sda1"->[Win7] rather than "dev/sda2".

  Now when I try to boot into Win7 from Grub menu I simply return to the same Grub Menu without any error message after few seconds.
  Tried boot-repair:

  After fix:

  But the issue still exists.
