I created a boot able flash drive using this procedure:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

I then used this to upgrade Ubuntu to the current version.

After the upgrade, I can not get the windows boot loader to come up no matter what hard drive I try to boot from and the Ubuntu boot loader only shows Ubuntu where as the previous version would also give Windows as an option. What do I need to do to fix this?

Boot from a Ubuntu flashdrive again and select try ubuntu option. Then install Boot Repair on the live session and run it with recommended options. I believe it will fix the problem otherwise post the pastebin link that boot-repair provides here.

Try opening a terminal and running sudo update-grub. This command should automatically search for and add all OSes found to the GRUB boot menu.

I'd recommend trying this before trying boot-repair.
