MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

No, nothing else.
Now I cannot even open the desktop gadget dialogue by right-clicking the desktop and going to 'Gadgets'.

Robert,

The problem is that I want to remove fedora 12 and the grub that the fedora installation has installed.
I want to came back to the previous state, when no grub nor fedora was installed on my pc, just windows 7.
And as I told you when I perform the procedure I get "Missing operating system message".
I have reinstalled fedora only to recover the capacity of booting windows 7.
Could you help me?.

Thanks a lot,

Enrique

Enrique;

I would be very happy to try. I have done this several times on my test computer with complete success. It would help me if you would capture a picture of the Disk Management window from Windows 7, and attach it to a post. If you need help doing that, here are two links to show how:

OK, I would suggest you start a new thread and describe your symptoms so the Forum can assist you (as this is no longer a MBR issue).

Cheers!

Hi ewsarocco,

Should be able to sort it out.

Need a screenshot of Disk Management window , as Iseeu just suggested.

Robert,

Thanks for the screen shot!

If the last two partitions (volumes) are for Fedora (you must confirm this so you do not delete anything you want to keep!), I would suggest to you to delete them.



Then, right click on the first partition (the 100MB Reserved) and mark it "Active."



Then boot to your Windows 7 install DVD and follow the MBR tutorial to restore booting to Windows.

Here is another link where the Linux OS is Ubuntu, but the procedure is the same:

Remove Grub - Restore Windows 7

Please let us know if you have any problems with this.

Cheers!

Robert,

GREAT !!!!!!

It worked!!!!

Now I have a question.

I have 2 partitions, one is 207MB "not assigned" and the other is 37.37GB "free space".

Is there any way to change the state of 207MB partition to "free space"?.

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Enrique

Yes, there is a way. If you would please, make another screen shot of your Disk Management drive map? I would like to see it before I suggest any changes.

Cheers!

Okay, my problem still exists! I tried Tune-Up again, but the way I had it mind to fix it did not work. It only messed up everything until System Restore saved me. Any other suggestions?

PS:
I want to use Tune-Up to change a theme setting, but then I want to wait out the last 8 days of my free trial.
