It all started like this..
I bought my HP-laptop 4 weeks ago. 2 days ago I decided to dual-boot the pre-installed Windows 7 with Ubuntu Netbook. Thought it was a good idea.
Well, I created a partition for Ubuntu on 100GB on my current HDD and the whole disk went from a Primary Disc to Basic Disc(because of having more than 4 partitions).
After that I decided to delete the partitions created by HP called HP_TOOLS and HP_RECOVERY. I did.
After that I went and booted up with my USB and installed Ubuntu Netbook without SWAP-partition through advanced partition, as it didn't come up with "Install Ubuntu beside Windows" or anything like that, that I've seen others do.
At the advanded partition windows I chose the 100GB partition and checked "Reformat to Ext4 journaled". The mountpoint was "/".
It went fine and I loaded up Ubuntu Netbook after that.
Everything worked fine - I could load Windows 7 and Ubuntu Netbook through the GRUB bootloader.
But then it came.. Ubuntu Netbook decided to update to the latest Kernel I guess? and it did, well.. after that I haven't been able to load up Windows 7.
When I try to load up Windows 7, it goes on to the screen with the dots making the logo - doesn't even finish the logo - and then it freezes for a second, comes up with a blue-screen of death with errors for 0,5 seconds(so I can't read what it says), and then reboots.
This is my problem - I just want to be able to boot up my Windows 7. Could it have anything to do with Ubuntu Netbook changing something in the BIOS by itself, so I can't boot up Windows 7 64-bit?
