Startup Repair 3 times failed to fix problem
I tried following the directions I found on a thread on this site for writing a new system partition by running startup repair 3 times with other hard drives disconnected but it didn't work. When I try to boot the drive it gives me the option to use grub recovery mode which is odd because i thought I deleted linux. I discovered that my old hdd from my previous installation of windows 7 had the system partition on it, which is a problem because I want to wipe that drive and install ubuntu on it.
The next thing I want to try is running bootrec from the command prompt on the repair disk but I'm unsure of which commands to run. bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot are the ones I've seen in my searches. I just don't want to accidentally screw something up. Thanks for your help.
