There’s an issue with an Alpha/Beta Release of Ubuntu, what should I do?

I have Windows 7 installed in a primary partition and wanted to
install Ubuntu 12.10 in a new partition.

Even before starting the installation, I knew that I might run into a few problems because the partition I was installing Ubuntu on was displayed before the W7
partition in the Disk Manager of Windows.

After the install, I didn't get a GRUB menu on reboot but was directly booted into W7.

A used a LiveUSB to boot into Ubuntu (Try Ubuntu) and ran the BootRepair software with the recommended settings. It showed an unsuccessful, the result

Now, I'm still directly booting to W7, but have access to the LiveUSB. Can someone guide me on how to have GRUB displayed on boot?

Ran BootRepair again with Advanced settings...the new results

Im sorry if im repeating obvious info, but your issue is explained by this line from the output

 => Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda.

While installing linux do you remember if a prompt turned up asking where you want to install the bootloader? If you get this prompt (its usually just after the one asking where you want to install ubuntu) you need to insist in the strongest terms that it be installed in MBR of sda, i.e the place where the windows bootloader is installed right now, that should now allow you to boot to both windows and linux after that.
