No OS - blackscreen / possible partitions deleted / ubuntu
Last night one of my friends was "guiding" me through an installation for Ubuntu to a flash drive. I was doing it on my current computer. I removed some partitions from the installation thinking it would just remove them from the list, I then tried to install it on the flash drive. (I also changed some of the NTFS FAT 32's around and stuff, But i don't know what that means)
It then brought me to a black screen with a blinking underscore.
After doing everything below, it now says Missing operating system.
So I might have made things worse.
I have tried the recovery Cd which I burned off of another windows7 computer, I tried bootrec.exe as well.
I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point. I am currently using the same computer, but on the trail version - "try ubuntu" of ubuntu. All of my files seem to be intact.
Also, when I ran one of the recovery options it had a box for listed OS's and none displayed, it also said select drivers to install to disk and brought me to system32. (I had no idea what to look at, at that point)
I also did
>diskpart
>slect disk 0
>list volume
and some other things...
Nothing seems to be working and I'm out of ideas and running short on time to get my work done.
Any help or additional information requests would be great.
