Installing windows 7 after hdd format
Ok so i was trying ubuntu on my pc and i like it just didn't want it to be my main boot loader. So i deleted ubuntu and then i kept getting the grub not found error. So then i couldn't boot into windows with out having ubuntu on my pc.
So took my hdd out and connected the sata to usb, then to my laptop to format the hard drive. And now im tryingn to install a fresh copy of windows 7, booting from the cd and it tells me my bootmgr is missing.
I also went into windows re multiple times and ran bootrec /fixmgr, /fixboot, /scanOs found 0 of course, and the /rebuild all in the command prompt. I tried the disk part also with no partitions found. I also tried gparted and made my hdd a boot and raid drive. The last thing i tried was install windows 2008 r2, which seemed like it was going to work but soon failed during the installation.
And i dont have any recovery cds or files that i made on my own. I thought installing a fresh copy of windows 7 would still work.
I have tried everything in the book that i know of. What else is there for me possibly to do. Any help will be much appreciated.
