I have an older Fujitsu Workstation (~2015) with a SSD and a larger harddrive. Originally it had Windows 7 installed on the SSD with the hdd as data drive. A few month ago I created a second Partition on the harddrive and installed ubuntu and centOS a few times. Somewhere I messed up, and Windows can't boot anymore. When I try booting from the SSD I get to a Grub Rescue shell. I tried the windows 7 automatic repair, wich 'succeded' with no effect. Then I tried in the rescue console bootrec /fixmbr, which did 'succed' but had no effect either. bootrex /fixboot gives 'element not fond', but bootrec /ScanOs does find the windows Installation.
The Output from uefibootmgr -v:
Boot0000* Diagnostic Program FvVol(5c60f367-a505-419a-859e-2a4ff6ca6fe5)/FvFile(085e8cc2-8ec9-4666-bd2a-49d481e95fa7)

Boot0009* ubuntu HD(1,MBR,0xfe764988,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\UBUNTU\GRUBX64.EFI)..BO
Both Windows partitions are readable from Ubuntu.
Gparted shows a 100MB fat16 partititon with mountpoint /boot/efi (6.28MB used) on the SSD, and a 476GB ntfs partition.
Is there anything I can do, to restore my windows? There is some Software installed, which is an absolute PITA to reinstall, so I would rather not reinstall my windows.

If you have Windows 7 installed in UEFI mode why are you using tools/methods for BIOS/Legacy? – None – 2019-05-15T16:31:55.667
Or maybe Ubuntu is? The problem is mixing modes. – None – 2019-05-15T16:33:10.860
