Dual Boot option gone after installing Kubuntu 14.04

Asked by Robert

As indicated, my option to boot into my OS of choice is gone, after installing Kubuntu 14.04. My machine boots directly into Kubuntu, giving me no choice.

Previously on other distros I have used Ubuntu Boot-Repair, but apparently that program is not available anymore.

Can you help me get my boot menu back?

I'm using Windows 7 and Kubuntu 14.04.

Thank you!

Robert
