Win 7 loaded, or the same as the previous installed Ubantu (Ubantu 12.04), Ubantu boot Disk sector selection is installed Win7 is the boot disk (the ESP partition of the disk);
Ubantu installation First off the network installation, installation to half is thrown error said grub what what what error, online collected a bit said that the Internet is no problem, according to do after networking is really OK, so ubantu installation all smooth, after the installation is found to enter Win 7 always error (Error: Invalid EFI file path), and the win option that you see from boot in the BIOS can enter Win 7.
Boot entry after successful installation:
