Like many before me had the following problem that after installing Ubuntu (with windows 7 already installed), the grub boot loader wouldnt show windows 7 as a boot option, though i can boot fine if I use the "Choose Boot Device" options on the x220.
The difference is that I try using
UEFI only so many answers didn't really fit my problem, though i tried several stuffs:
after running boot repair it destroyed the ubuntu boot loader
custom entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom for windows which doesnt show up
many update-grub and reboots
trying windows repair recovery thing
while being there i also did bootrec.exe /FixBoot
and update-grub and reboot again
and finaly because it was so much fun, i installed linux all over again, while formatting and deleting everything linux related before that.
Now that i think of it, Ubuntu also didn't notice Windows being there during the Setup and it still doesnt according to the Boot Info from Boot Repair.

Thanks for your time and attention.
EDIT: additional Info Request
=No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda.
But maybe this is how it is supposed to work?
yea this is ok. boot stuff seems to be on a seperate partition, in my case sda1.
I'm very new to this
UEFI thing too.
missing files like bootmgr
i don't really have a clue :D but yea, maybe thats how it suppose to be?
Instead and whats not shown in the log for some reason:
There is additional microsoft bootfiles on sda1 under /efi/microsoft/ [much stuff]
I remember also doing some kind of hack to make a
UEFI windows 7 usb stick.
http://jake.io/b/2011/installing-windows-7-with-uefi-boot-on-an-x220-from-usb/
In short: creating and placing bootx64.efi on the stick so it can be booted in
UEFI mode.
boot order
i decide that in my BIOS. i read somwhere that the thinkpad x220 (essential part of the serial number: 4921 http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/x220_x220i_x220tablet_x220itablet_ug_en.pdf) doesnt really have
UEFI interface or something, still, these 2 options are listed with all the other usual devices you can give a boot priority to. Right now it looks like this:
Boot Priority Order
1. ubuntu
2. Windows Boot Manager
3. USB FDD
4. USB HDD
5. ATA HDD0 HITACHI [random string]
