Win7 - Linux Multiboot Disaster
Windows Experts,
I hope you can help me because through sheer stupidity on my part I can't get into my Windows installation.
Windows is on HD #2 on my system. I installed Linux (with which I am totally unfamiliar) on HD #1 in a partition that was formatted for NTFS but was empty.
Prior to installing Linux I used a boot menu to select between partition C: on HD# 1 (where Windows once resided) and partition F: on HD #2 the active installation of Windows.
I can boot into the Linux partition by changing the order of the drives in the BIOS.
From what I've read since installing Linux, I probably overwrote the MBR in HD #1.
How do I get myself out of this ridiculous predicament I find myself in. If I delete the Linux partition on HD #1, how do I make the Windows partition on HD #2 bootable?
