I installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my laptop and put it in it's own partition on my hard drive, but when I deleted the partition my computer wouldn't boot to Windows 7, it went to Grub, so I changed BIOS to boot to my CD/DVD drive and put my Windows repair disk in, I followed your advice for the command line and now my computer boots to Windows 7, thanks for your help!

No software or trick can fix it if device priority comes into play. EG: SATA 1 = Drive D SATA 2 = Drive E SATA 3 = Drive F SATA 4 = Drive C To fix it one must physically change the SATA cable from 4 to at 1 (optimally) to make it work. I want to let anyone know who has more then one or two HDD's. regards Jow I want to mention that above won’t work if the Sata Device from where you boot is a higher Device then any other.
