Urgent! I tried to uninstall Linux Mint and keep Window
Guys, I am really screwed.
I used to dual boot Linux Mint 7 and Windows 7 Professional on my laptop then I decide to get rid of Mint. Grub (Linux) was my default bootloader then, not the Windows one.
So I deleted the Mint 7 partition using computer management from Windows 7' Control Panel and reinstalled the Windows bootloader using EasyCD before I restarted my laptop.
Upon restart, everything was fine then I proceeded to wipe out the unallocated space that Min7 used to occupy using Partition Wizard Home Edition. In order to do so, I had to restart my machine so Partition Wizard can start wiping out the unallocated space.
Everything seemed to be fine until my laptop restarted again...It went into directly into Windows 7 and then the error message occurs:
pwNative not found - skipping autocheck
autochek not found - skipping autocheck
Then it was BSOD....
I tried running the startup recovery tool which was unsuccessful...including running the commands "bootrec.exe/fixmbr" followed by "bootrec.exe/fixboot".
I tried everything possible way I could think of...still no luck. The Windows 7 DVD that I made from the media I downloaded from MSDNAA is apparently not bootable since I couldn't get it to start at startup to perform a clean install. The only option I have left is a Vista DVD that I had made before...which would take 2 hours to install...not to mention the time that I have to spend to install Windows 7 once I have Vista.
Having said that I am currently typing in another Linux distro and I can see that my 115 Gig of Windows ntfs partition is still intact. How do I fix this?
Please help!!! Thank you!!!!
