linux killed my win 7
my son tried putting linux on my acer pc while I was out one day, only for me to find out afterwards, that win7 will not boot up... I get the start up bit after selecting windows from the lilo prompt for a dual boot, then it goes into (I am guessing, the start of) setup, after which, the pc kindly informs me, that it can not continue, but will continue after restart, only to end up back in the same circle all over again...
I have been informed it maybe the MBR, though I have my doubts about this...
Also, in my neglect, I have failed to make any kind of recovery/back-up discs... however, if I boot up a live version of unbuntu, I can see all my windows stuff still there (having tried to install ubuntu over last linux in an attempt to fix windows, but that failed too)
any other info needed, please ask...
in meant time if any one can help, that would be great.
many thanks for your time.
Mog.
