    Error in booting Windows after Ubuntu installation failure


    Hi everyone,

    I am using Windows 7. I tried installing ubuntu with the option " Include Ubuntu along with window partition".

    While installing ubuntu, error occurred. Now unable to boot Windows also. It prompts for recovery cd.

    I am not having recovery disk.

    Tried using other machine's recovery cd - Diskpart. But got the following error while selecting a partition.

    virtual disk service error:
    this operation is not allowed on an invalid disk. The disk may be invalid beacuse it is corrupted or failing, or it may be invalid because it is offline.

    Required your help to recover windows without affecting the existing data.

    Thanks.

    Try a Startup Repair:
    Startup Repair
    Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
    Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times


       Information
    We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
    & made the Startup Repair CD.
    startup repair disc-create


    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?
