New build. problem

Origiinal installation attempt failed in both Kubuntu 13.04 by pausing during the 'Prepare' step of installation and Kubuntu 12.10 about mid-point of the installation with an ubi installer engine crash. More attempts with fresh verified downloads failed in the same way. At this point I became aware of the UEFI/Linux Bios problems.
In an attempt to get the new build running, an experienced Windows technician installed Windows 7 after a boot repair and the system worked fine. I returned home to install Kubuntu 13.04 or 12.10 in a dual-boot configuration. Having similar install problems, I remembered my friend's repair of the Boot to get Windows 7 working. Consequently, I installed the Ubuntu 'boot-repair' package and corrected any existing error in the boot application.
Attempting this did not correct any problem, however it did create a new problem. Now Windows 7 will no longer boot. Apparently the attempt to repair the Grub in Kubuntu negatively affected the Windows boot application. That is where I am now.
Is there a way to use my Windows 7 installation DVD to repair whatever was broken when I tried to repair the Kubuntu GRUB? If so, how do I accomplish this?
I am able to boot to my Kubuntu 13.04 LiveUSB, in fact I am using it in the new build right now while making this post. Nevertheless, I would like to be able to use the new build while I am learning how to overcome the UEFI problem. I am unable to modify the system by adding necessary applications using the LiveUSB. even though the system otherwise is very fast while using the LiveUSB.
Does anyone know how to help me to accomplish this. Thanks!
