MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

Dear iseeuu,

Thank you so much for posting this article. I purchased a brand new laptop and the second day ( due to my play arounds with MBR, it got corrupted ).... I was terribly upset as I have to re install windows....
Tried a lot with ubuntu live cds, re-installing grub, windows 7 automatic startup recovery...but nothing helped....

But the procedure given by you really rocks!!!!

May God bless you

This thread is magical. I was experimenting with Ubuntu awhile back and I found that I didn't want to run it on my desktop so I deleted the partition and shut down, Fast forward to 2 months later I went to power on said desktop on a lack of sleep and found that the computer was booting to "grub recuse" command. I didn't know that Ubuntu overridden the MBR with Grub. Now I do. :) Found this site because I could not remember now to fix the MBR to save my life. That and I was overlooking the simplest answer to my problem.

Long story short, you saved my lack of sleep ass and I thank you for it. :)

Thanks for letting us know we helped, Big Buck! And welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Add me to your list of converts. Installed Ubuntu x64 & then tried some ill-informed shortcuts to uninstall it. You can guess the rest.

This thread saved my butt, my system, & perhaps my marriage. Thank you.
