Need Help with Windows 7 Home Premium Boot

[sundarsy]

I have a Dell Studio 15 with Core i7 740 processor, 4 GB RAM and 500g HDD.

Windows 7 Home Premium Factory Installed

I have installed Linux Mint 10 last month and everything was so fine. I have deleted the Linux Partition by mistake and my default boot was using GRUB.

So i got a GRUB error when i restarted my system and so i loaded my system with a FreeDOS LiveCD and ran "fdisk /mbr" command to fix my Master Boot Record.

GRUB has got removed, But windows 7 is booting up and it is showing error and prompts me to load Windows 7 CD/DVD

I have misplaced my Windows 7 recovery Disk, My BAD.


What are my other options and how to fix this?? Please help.

P.S. I tried hitting F8 to get into advanced options, No Luck:-(

If you have another computer with W7 you should be able to create a repair DVD on that one.

Or Barrow a W7 install disk from anyone you can. The repair feature should fix your system. I doubt it will ask but just be sure to use your product key, not theirs if it does.

I've had the same thing happen to me, several times. The repair or install disc has always bailed me out. So far, I haven't had to enter a key to get going.

This is why I now run Linux OS's on a separate HDD, or through a VM. This way, my Windows bootloader doesn't get overwritten.
