Initially i´ve installed StartUpManager. This ( i think ) added another 4 instances of Linux + memtest to my boot menu list.
Altough, i din´t see any boot menu. It boots into Ubuntu after a few seconds.
I´ve tried to add windows 7, but i did not succeed.
This is a part of my menu.lst file.

Later Edit:
Ive added the following in 40_custom from /etc/grub.d/ and ive decommented hidden menu line from menu.lst, but i still cant see any boot menu.
Ive also tried to press ESC and SHIFT.
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos0)'
chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
set root= hd(0,0)
chainloader +1
}
menuentry "!Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
set root= hd(0,1)
chainloader +1
}
menuentry "!!Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
set root= hd(0,2)
