Windows 7 Not booting after partition mess
Hey guys, C0RE O5IVE here again, I know it's been a while since my last thread but hey, I'm back! With another issue, relatively similar to my last one just a different chipset now ...
So basically here's the story. I installed ArchLinux 7 months back, enjoyed it for some time and then since recently I thought that it would be time to head back to windows since I am a programmer and I just like the windows development stack more than anything. So I deleted my partition in arch linux using gparted and completely fixed it up to NTFS after booting into partition wizard from a usb. I used the windows recovery method to boot into a repair disc illustrated here: https://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EB...ble+EasyRE+USB -- Then I did the bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr + bootrec /fixmbr like usual. Now I'm stuck with an issue, and I've attempted the yumi windows install with the ISO and its just not working. So at first, I just removed the old grub loader in effort to get the windows 7 bootloader back but now when I boot I get this error: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". Though when I pop in my windows 7 sp1 32-bit install disk and slap any key it just stalls there with a blinking cursor without ever loading. I have no idea what could be the issue here. I even tried formatting 2 seperate usbs as windows 7 boot cd's with YUMI usb installer and UNET. I have no idea what I can do now. Any suggestions guys? As always, all help is appreciated!
Cheers,
