I have Ubuntu already installed. I wanted to get windows 7 as well, I followed the instructions I was given, to partition my hard drive and to format it to a NTFS for Windows but now When I try to boot from HDD I only get Windows. I am seeing that I was (if done right) to get a GRUB menu at start you, so I may pick which one I would to start up.
I would much thankful of your help, also I have no issue with having to flash my hard drive and start from scratch.

The ideal thing would be to install Windows first then Ubuntu, allowing Grub to give you the option to choose where you want to boot. but not all is lost, you can still install Grub and it is fairly simple.

The first thing you are going to do is boot into your live Ubuntu environment (cd, flash drive).

Then you are going to install boot repair

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

Once you do this you will will click the first button "Recommended repair"

Once you do this you should be able to restart and remove your bootable image and Grub should be back and you should be able to boot into Windows or Ubuntu.
