Need help starting Windows 7 on boot up.

This helped me in a similar situation and it may assist you.

Thank you. I will look it over. It will work with Vista. I am not sure I should use it for Windows 7, however. It does not list Windows 7 as an OS

I tried EasyBCD and this is what happened. I started Super GRUB. I typed the "C" to get into command mode. I typed "Root" and it gave me that root was (hd0,1). I then typed "root (hd0,1) as instructed. It did not locate root. So, I typed setup (hd0,1) and it did not recognize root either. So, I am back to where I was, no worse for the wear.
I still need help. I need to make this clear: I am not sure that Linux Ubuntu is still on the drive...since I made the drive inactive. If it is there, I think that I just need a way to reactivate it so GRUB will work.

I believe to "reactivate" Ubuntu you will need to reinstall it from your Live CD. That will create Grub again and should show your current OS. In my Grub one of the options for booting is the Windows boot loader which I have made the default. To do that you may need to add "Start Up Manager" to your Ubuntu OS.

I tried that. I was not able to get past the Grub on boot up. Do I need to do a cold boot instead of a soft boot? I have it where my CD/DVD drive is to be located first. I am not sure what I need to do to get it to recognize my CD/DVD first. Any suggestions.

Use EasyBCD 2.0 beta (after doing quick forum registration to use beta) which has a Linux tab on Add/Remove function. Several have been able to do this successfully.

However, many have to deep clean GRUB off the HD using DISKPART "Clean All" then reinstall according to this tutorial: Dual-Boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu in Perfect Harmony - windows 7 - Lifehacker

Thank you. I will check it out.

I may need to do a fresh install of Windows 7 "if" it will delete the partition Ubuntu was on and put me back to the way I bought the computer. Windows 7 came installed with the ability to restore itself like it was when I bought the computer. I am not sure where it is stored, but I can find it easy enough. What I need to know is will it get rid of the partition I made for Ubuntu and only have Windows 7 to boot to?

I hope you made the Recovery Disks before installing Ubuntu as often times the Recovery partition is disabled by a clean install.

See if you can make the disks now, or try runnng Recovery by tapping the key given at bootup for Recovery, or check manual for your model.

The problem is that even if you can get Recovery to run the HD may need deep cleaning (by applying zeros using Diskpart or a Partition Manager like free Partition Wizard to wipe disk) to get rid of GRUB.

Your tech support will often send Recover Disk set for price of shipping, and may even send a clean copy DVD of Win7. The other option is to borrow or find a Win7 installer to install your version with key stickered to computer. This is actually the cleanest possible install as it eliminates the factory bloatware which is corrupting in itself.

With the DVD or Recov disks, then you can Wipe the HD with Partition Wizard CD first, or boot DVD Command Line (press Shift F10 at bootup) to run DISKPART Clean All command before installing Win7.
