I'm quite rusty at dealing with boot issues but Boot Repair may help:

Subject: installed Ubuntu gnome - think messed up the boot loader
 

Hello!

I've installed Ubuntu gnome alongside of windows 7, though since i had two partitions, i  went through the manual installation.

before mentioning my problem, I'll say what i have done.
I had three partitions:
/dev/sda1: 100mb
/dev/sda2: 160gb  (my windows partition)
/dev/sda3:330gb  (for my ubuntu gnome)

I have selected /dev/sda3 for Linux installation and  set the formatting options.
Then, i accidentally chose the /dev/sda1 for putting the grub booter, do to the orca  (the screen reader) being  buggy in  the partitioning screen, it kept forcing me to fumble around with the keyboard.

What is happening now is that i can't load windows. I can't see the grub menu do to my visual impairment, but i suppose that the last item is always  windows 7. i  hold down  the down arrow key for 5 seconds then press enter, and nothing happens.
I believe i have messed up something by installing grub in /dev/sda1 which was 100mb?

Thank you
