Hi,
I uninstalled linux and then wanted to use windows. It was a dual boot. I read the process online but stupidly I only made an acer e recovery disk not a windows 7 disk. I can't access the command prompt now because I get the linux grub loader error.
What can I do?
I do not have a windows 7 repair disk. Unless I can download one to a usb stick from somewhere?
I dont know what to do,so any assistance is appreciated.
You have to update the master boot code. It's now the grub loader.
Master boot code is part of MBR... so just rewrite the MBR.
