Issues reinstalling win7 after ubuntu install

theog said:

All Linux code must be deleted.As you have had linux on the HD you need do a Clean all & full format.


Type in command line
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (win HD)
CLEAN ALL
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT fs=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT

SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

You need to do the CLEAN ALL command.

You can do this from the Startup Repair CD:
System Repair Disc - Create

Hi i was able to take a screenshot from my partitions but as my Windows is setup in Dutch i m hoping it makes any sense

Have used the CLEAN ALL command?

The partition listings seem correct so if Win7 will not start it is likely due to GRUB corruption.

You can attempt to repair it by booting the Win7 Repair CD to run Startup Repair
up to 3 separate times with reboots.

I would first delete the 4gb partition if that is where GRUB was located as it's presence on HD can render Win7 irreparable.

If the repairs fail then wipe the HD as suggested to get rid of GRUB corruption and reinstall Win7: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Again thanks so much for your replys i have not done the Clean and i will give this a try right now.
Seriously greatful for all the help

will come back at this for sure

No, do not use the CLEAN command, is will not delete GRUB.
Use the CLEAN ALL command, which will delete GRUB.

Thanks for the advice and your update

Hi i just tried booting from My Acer Recovery CD i choose repair settings to default enter the first dvd then the second dvd and Pc hangs simply doesn t do anything . After rebooting I have the Disk grub error and again only with hirens boot i am able to log on booting via harddrive .

After turning down laptop incorreclyt i was able to boot into recovery menu with Dos option where i added in the following commands
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (win HD) -- Here i am only to select partition 1 or partition 2 no C or D
Then after when i tap CLEAN ALL i get an VDS-error - Cleaning up is not allowed on the disk ......

When booting again via Hirens boot using NTLDR -tool it gives me the following information Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows root -system32 -ntoskrnl.exe Please reinstall a copy of the above file

Any suggestions are always welcome as ever

as i have 4 recovery cds and i already reinstalled windows 7 once after doing a format Hd with active boot which had me able to logon to windows only when booting from Hirens cd - first boot from dvd then boot from harddrive -
Is there a tool in particular i should use to Format my pc as the first format with A Active Boot cd was not able to remove The Linux Grub?
