Hey all.

I decided i didnt like the GRUB dual boot thing so i tryed to remove it and just use my windows 7.

after removeing the partition that belongs to Ubuntu i restarted my pc.

Now i get this:

Error no such device: Blah blah

grub rescue>

Now then i have no idea what to do with that.


I have tryed useing a Boot cd, the windows 7 dvd and doing all the normal:

Bootrec /fixboot
bootrec / fixmbr
bootsect /nt60 c:
bootsect /nt60 all

When useing the bootsect it wont allow me to do the rebuild on C and F saying they have denied me access.

I cant loose my work for uni! I must be able to boot into my system somehow?
 
grub-rescue>

The grub-rescue> mode is a more restricted subset of the grub> shell. Some commands are phrased differently here for easier use. Try help to start.

Useful tip: try to load normal mode: insmod /boot/grub/normal.mod

After this command help will show normal as possible command. Try it. Normal mode will be loaded. Now try to load ls (insmod /boot/grub/ls.mod), help and so on.

alternatively

Install windows on another hard disk, connect the old disk and recover all your work. Then you can try to recover your original windows although it seems that the grub boot was probably in the ubuntu partition that you deleted.
You could install easyBCD on the new windows installation and then try to recover the older windows boot record.

tryed all that mate.

Failed and more failer!

Decided to wipe my SSD and start again but seems that the grub or something is on my two 1tb hdd's...

When i plug them back in my ssd losses its bootmgr...

Its starting to **** me off greatly.
 
I have a feeling i have sorted it now.

Seems there were some system reserved partitions on my other hdd's and they help some linux boot stuff.

Wiped everything and its all ok now.

(managed to back up my work :) )
