    Dual Boot - Partition Problems


    So I went from 100% Windows Media Center to about 60% Windows 7 with 40% Ubuntu.

    Then I decided to get rid of the Ubuntu partition, so I deleted the volume and made a volume for storage.

    On the next start up I got errors and could not get to the login page. Here is what I get:

    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks

    You replaced your Windows bootloader with the Linux GRUB bootloader. You can fix this by booting into your Windows CD, and doing a repair install.
