heres the story:

I took my Ubuntu HDD out of my lappy, into my Win7 PC, started up wiped the Ubuntu disk (need to xfer loads of files). Later on i restart my pc with the UBUNTU drive in, and i get a Grub error (error 22) ok fair enough its booting from the broken ubuntu disk, so i remove it. SO I restart with ONLY my win7 disk in ....................GRUB ERROR 22

What the hell!!!! what is Grub doing on my win7 disk??? AM i going to have to use Grub as my boot loader now (reinstall grub as if dual booting?)

:mad: This has annoyed me a lot!! weill somebody please help me?!!!

please, you will win an internet!
 
Boot to your windows 7 CD and press the command prompt option on the setup screen, run the commands fixmbr and fixboot and it will replace the bootloader with the winblows one.

I highly doubt Ubuntu automatically overwrote the bootloader on your HDD unless you requested it somehow.

I have tried that with my XP cd (have overwtitten my win7 CD) obv. didnt work,

And i really dont understand why it has overwitten the bootloader on my win7 disk, im reallly wondering what has happened!

Is it possible to load win7 using grub, thats what im going to (try and) do now..
