Windows bootloader not in menu


I dual-boot Windows 7 with Debian Wheezy. Just performed update && upgrade via apt-get. Windows boot loader is now missing in the boot menu. How do I get it back so that I can boot Windows when necessary?

Thank you in advance for your help.

it's better if you share how you solved it.
others might search for a solution to a similar problem & benefit from your solution.
thanks.
