So the title pretty much says everthing, after installing another OS using unetbootin I created a partition for the secondary OS, it didn't work so I deleted the partition with Minitool Partition Wizard not knowing I deleted the bootmenu for unetbooting, now I get this error and want to know how to load up the original boot system(windows 7 bootmenu). I saw a few but most say that I need a upgrade/installation disc which I don't have, so if you can help me with this problem please tell me how.

Error: no such partition.
grub rescue>

I dont know if thi is going to work,but im going to install another OS again (Kali Lunix) and going to try to replace it with the new boot menu kali lunix is going to give me to see if it works, the only thing im afraid of is it said to split a partition for kali, since i dont have access to windows 7 im going to need to resize the windows 7 partition which may delete everything

If Home Premium SP1 is the system you want to fix, then yes.

I think I understand what you are trying to do - install another Grub in the hopes it will pick up the Windows bootmgr. I am not sure whether that will work.

And be careful with the creation of new partitions. Check first how many primary partitions you already have. If it is more than 3, you cannot create another partition - at least not without running into the dreaded dynamics.

Yea that's what im going to do but from what I remember the last time I checked the partitions, I had one for OS, Recovery, Allocated and something else.

Better check first how the disk is subdivided - with the Partition Wizard CD (the .iso is in the last box of the webpage)

So I downoad the bootable CD and I run it with the boot options? And can I use a USB to do this, I
don't have a disc.

You only have to rewrite the MBR boot code. Partition Wizard has an option "Rewrite MBR". Or win7 repair disc: bootrec/fixmbr. Or bootsect /nt60 C: /force /mbr
