Well I had Ubuntu AND Windows 7 duel booted on my Amilo Li 2727, I tried to get rid of the Ubuntu because to be honest, it was taking up most of my Laptop's space. I used a program to do it and when i restarted my laptop no OS would boot. I plugged in my Windows 7 Installation USB and it wouldn't boot up the install thing.
I put in the Ubuntu USB and had an option to install it, so I thought 'hey, maybe if I delete everything of my hdd like i do when i install win7 i can reinstall win7.', so i delete everything of hdd using ubuntu installer and install ubuntu (ubuntu is telling me I have a 120gb hard drive now idk why, that's beside the problem), so ubuntu is installed on my pc. I restart and put in my Win7 installation usb again and it says the same error.
The error says:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings and then click "next."
3. Click 'repair your computer'.

If you do not have the disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

I can't do what it tells me because i do not have a windows installation disc, and can't make one! Any help? Please!

I get the error when i boot off the installation USB.
I cannot create a System Repair Disc because I can't get on Windows 7
And no I am unaware of anyone else using windows 7, if you could send me an iso or something I could try that.

What can I use then because I don't have any disks that have over 1gb capacity.

AND if I don't have the USB in it will boot to Ubuntu.

As you have x64, you need a Startup Repair CD x64.

There is no reason why a known-good Win7 64 bit Installation flash stick should not be able to boot to use it's Repair Console on second screen for these Repairs.

Try booting it again using one-time BIOS Boot Menu. If it fails, try writing the ISO to flash stick again using Universal USB Installer with Win7 in the dropdown menu, then boot under USB or HD's.

Once booted confirm Win7 is marked Active Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two) then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times.

If this fails, try again after deleting Ubuntu from HD using Diskpart Clean command from Repair console Command Prompt: Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

You can not use a USB Pendrive to do a startup Repair, as startup repair will find the MBR on the Pendrive & not the HD.
Therefore will not detect a problem.

Source?

I do most Startup Repairs with flash stick, and many we have helped here have written WinRE to stick using Win2Flash.
 
I've never had any problem using WinRE from flash stick. But thanks for the heads-up, Ray. Now I'll never trust it fully! :geek:

Thanks. The Diskpart command to delete Ubuntu is Delete Partition Override, or use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to do a partition-specific wipe of Ubuntu, or delete the partition using the booted Win7 installer>Custom>Drive Options..

The reason the step is included is that Ubuntu on the HD can make Win7 irreparable.

All tested.

No need for 3rd party tools, Partitions can deleted in Disk Management, no need to do Startup Repair.

I downloaded a repair ISO from the internet. Windows 7 x64. It didn't load up.. It went to the GRUB.

Is there anything I can do?

It should. I put the disk in and tried booting it. It didn't work. So I went into the boot menu thing and put USB CDROM as first and it didn't boot. I went into the bios menu and the disk didn't show up.
