I have Windows 7 x64 installed but after installing Ubuntu 12.10, it asks me to restart but the GRUB loader doesnt even show up, directly boots into Windows What can i do for that ??

1Probably you did not install Grub correctly. Maybe you have chosen the wrong disk where to install Grub.– To DoNov 18, 2012 at 14:29

You can find a site to download a boot repair disc like this http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ burn it and then start the system. It will repair your boot. Otherwise press the F12 when windows starts and see If Ubuntu is on boot devises.
- Boot a liveDVD or liveUSB
- Check where Ubuntu is installed. If your Ubuntu partition is on say
sda4
then you should install grub onsda
without the last digit. - Open a terminal (ctrl + alt + T) an type
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
changing sda accordingly.
More detailed information here.
try creating ubuntu boot disc/pendrive with SecureBoot
