After installation and reboot, it does not show the grub menu (from which I can choose which OS to boot) and it directly boots Ubuntu.

If your system only boots into memtest and there’s no entry in Grub for ubuntu after Ubuntu Karmic installed,this post may help!

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside Windows 7 using Ubuntu's Startup disk creator and installation completed without any difficulties or errors.
Now when I try to boot, it directly boots with Windows and shows no option to choice as to which Operating System to load. But when I boot using that same pen drive with which I installed Ubuntu, it shows an OS selection screen.
On my computer I have a dual-boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10. Ubuntu was just installed from a USB flash drive.
After the installation finishes, my computer boots straight to Windows without any indication that either GRUB or Ubuntu is even installed.
