I installed Mint 15 from live USB on my friend's PC which has UEFI
boot. Now after installation, earlier installed Windows 7 started but
did not boot and went to recovery mode. i installed ubuntu's
boot-repair on live-usb and tried auto-repair but no luck there. Tried
some fixes on MBR to GPT but all efforts in vain so far.
Have you tried tools like os-prober (Arch Linux) which detect existing
operating systems. Not sure if there is one for Mint.
When I moved from MBR to GPT, I had to start afresh wiping out the whole
HDD and recreating and mounting the boot partition after Ubuntu's existing
install broke.
