    Installing linux distribution has stopped windows 7 booting


    I was trying to install a ubuntu distribution to my primary hard drive (along side Windows 7) and at 99% of copying files the setup reported there was not sufficient memory to install backtrack. I cannot boot back into windows 7 as the computer resets before getting past the boot screen (shows 'starting windows' as normal then the screen blacks and takes me back to BIOS).
    this process loops unless I select windows repair option, which does not fix the problem.
    The Backtrack live CD won't let me delete the new, half-installed partition, so therefore I cannot change the windows partition back to it's usual (small) size of 55GB.

    All help would be appreciated as I need windows on my PC for work

    Thank you to all in advance.
