[Abdul Rehman <abdulrehman272@xxxxxxxx>]

My workaround, no need to short CL1 and CL2:

1. Install Ubuntu in a normal way, ( I installed UEFI based Ubuntu, in
GPT partition table hdd, didn't try MBR)

2. After installation restart your computer and boot to newly installed
ubuntu

3. Download fujitsu flash bios from fujitsu website (I used Admin pack
bios v1.09 for fujitsu AH532) and extract it to any fat32 or ntfs based
partition or usb

4. http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ install rEFInd boot manager

5. Uncomment line "scanfor internal,external,optical,manual" search for
this line and just remove '#' from /EFI/refind/refind.conf

6. Install and Run Boot-Repair with recommended option

7. Restart your system

8. Now your menu must be rEFInd boot manager if not then copy it from /EFI/refind/ to /EFI/BOOT/ and rename refind_x64.efi
to bootx64.efi

9. When you are at rEFind boot manager Insert Windows Installation DVD,
I used windows 7 home basic that came with fujitsu

10. Press escape several times to refresh rEFInd, after that it will show cd-rom icon select that
  
11. After loading windows installation, select language then Select "repair your computer",  wait for searching of preinstalled OSes then select first option click next and then select command prompt

12. In command prompt give path to your bios flash executable

You are done

If after restart only grub> basic is showing
follow these steps

i. grub> set root=(hdX,gptY) <enter>
ii. grub> linux /vmlinuz set root=/dev/sdaY <enter>
iii. grub> initrd /initrd.img <enter>
iv. grub> boot <enter>

replace X with your harddisk number 
replace Y with your newly installed ubuntu partition
once you are in ubuntu
v. goto /EFI/Boot/  just delete bootx64.efi and copy refind_x64.efi from /EFI/refind/  and rename refind_x64.efi to bootx64.efi
this situation will only occur if you skip step 8.


Every time you update your grub or if it is re installed automatically by software updater you have to follow step 9 to step 11 to 
re flash your bios.

I only have ubuntu in my system
I think, BIOS flash would be easy if you have dual-boot
