I'm dualbooting Ubuntu 15.10 W.W. alongside Windows 7. I did a stupid thing and set the Windows Boot Menu timer to 0. So now whenever I boot, it doesn't give me a choice, it just boots to Ubuntu. Because of that, I cant even access the startup tools or anything associated to Windows. Plz help.

From Ubuntu, I think you couldn't do something. So I give you two options:
Since
boot.ini
don't exist in Windows 7, you could obtain a Windows 7 Recovery image and try to execute the toolbcdedit
. See the last comment from this entry on Ubuntu Forum (he did it for a Vista, but should be the same).The other is to use GRUB instead the Windows 7 boot manager. Probably, with
GParted
you could change the boot partition to the Ubuntu boot partition. But before, try to configure GRUB with the commandsudo update-grub
. (More info)
Hope this helps and fix the issue.

Thx for the advice, I just factory reset my computer and everything is working just fine. Aug 17, 2016 at 15:49
Just modify the value of timeout
in your boot.ini
file.

In the grub menu, it only shows Ubuntu and Advanced options for Ubuntu. Aug 7, 2016 at 19:52
