Perhaps I should have waited for your reply instead of reading that post...I regret it now!!
Sorry, the camshot's quality are not good so i'm just gonna type...
diskpart:

Code:

Microsoft Diskpart version 6.1.7600
Copyright...
On computer: MININT-AFRVID8

select disk 0: shows 38 different commands from ACTIVE to UNIQUEID with desciption of each...i guess all of these are not required...

list part: There is no disk selected to list partitions. Select a disk and try again.

list volume:

Volume### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info

Volume 0 D CD_ROM CDFS DVD-ROM 3562 MB Healthy
Volume 1 C OS NTFS Partition 581 GB Healthy Hidden
Volume 2 - DELLUTILITY FAT Partition 100 MB Healthy

why is it hidden?

Code:

diskpart
select vol c
active
detail partition  (type=07???, hidden=yes?? )
detail volume
attributes volume clear hidden

Which of the 3 displays the USERS folder and your account name in it?

Code:

dir c:\users
dir d:\users
dir e:\users

Where is the bootmenu (hopefully not on 2 partitions)?

Code:

dir/a  c:\boot\bcd
dir/a  d:\boot\bcd
dir/a  e:\boot\bcd

-All of these six commands show same thing as "select disk 0" command i.e. 38 command names from ACTIVE to UNIQUEID with their decription.

-Yes, I read #21 but I was hoping for some other way to recover Windows without deleting my UBUNTU contents...but I'm willing to sacrifice UBUNTU at the moment...I installed UBUNTU in somewhat similar manner previously too...

-So, I guess I should run Startup Repair three times now??

You must NOT type the commands in DISKPART but in a fresh command prompt. For now.... make the volume active and clear the hidden flag. Answer the other threads. these 6 commands are not relevant anymore

Yes, I did all that...it is type 7 and no longer hidden. I ran "list volume" again under DISKPART and now it says Volume 2 i.e. DELLUTILITY is hidden, and VOlume 1 is no longer hidden; everything else is same...Is it ok to run Startup Repair now??

Look at your previous posts.... DELLUTILY wasn't hidden at all!! But i think that was a typing error. I think is was DELLUTILY that was hidden all the time(?)

Anyway....all is fine now. C is ACTIVE? IF so.... perform a startup repair 3 times with reboots in between and post results.
system boots fine from internal disk afterwards?

In recovery->command prompt

Code:

dir  c:\

You see program files?
You see program files (x86)?

Code:

bcdboot  C:\Windows

What happens?

Code:

bootrec  /scanos

Does it detect win7 on C? Add it to bootmenu if asked.

Please post results

Looks like it did it's job. Can you boot succesfully from harddisk now?
Back tommorrow in 12 hours
