This bug isn't solved, look at bug #475881 In bug #486499 user mentions about a workaround, but it doesn't help in my case. In bug #454930 you can find similar problem, but with Windows XP.
>From my investigation I found, that windows bootloader is starting and loading some files, but after initialization process it wants to access files via root drive and can't find this files. My Windows 7 64bit always reboots without any BSOD or error message, so it is only my guess. I have tried using some workaround, like removing search command, but nothing helps. At last I installed Grub1, it works like a charm, but for not so experienced user it will be too hard to fix. To make things 'worse', on second computer with similar configuration everything is OK. It has Windows 7 64bit on sda1 and Ubuntu 32bit on extended partition (sda5 or sda6 ext4). Disk is SATA2. I don't know how exactly grub2 works, but maybe it wrongly passes root disk to windows or can't find it?
