I had set up a dual boot with Linux Mint 17 and Win 7.
Normally when starting it defaults to Linux. If I want Win 7 I have to choose it from the dos startup screen.
Yesterday this changed and when it boots, I get a black screen..
error: no such partition
Entering rescue mode
grub rescue:
and the cursor stays there. I am not sure where to go from here..
------------------------
My system has the HP Diagnostics Ver 3.7.0.0
Bios is F.29
Bios Boot is..
HP Quick web - disabled
CD Rom Enabled
Floppy Disabled
Internal Net Adapter Disabled
-------
Results of HP Diags tests..
Memory Test PASSED
Smart Check PASSED
Short DST PASSED
Optimized DST PASSED
Battery Test PASSED(0) Secondary-Not installed(60)
PCI Device Check PASSED
Start Up PASSED
Error Log: Start Up Passed
So according to this all okay.

I have found SuperGrub2 and Rescatux here.
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/
Seems a great idea so installed SuperGrub2 on a USB then booted to it.
It found the partitions and I chose to boot to the Win 7.
It did find Win but after it said starting Windows, it came up with the HP Recovery 3 panel option screen.
I have passed all the tests as you can see above so I don't need any of those options.
I tried Rescatux and it was even better. I could see and access all my windows folders and files but not sure what to do there to fix the boot files so they bypass the Linux grub etc.
I really just need to get into Win7. I don't have anything in the Mint17 partition, just trying it out so can do without it.
How can I either get rid of that Recovery Panel so I can get straight into Win 7 or anyway get this fixed please.
I do have the Mint 17 CD I used to install Mint.
I have spent 2 days and still confused.
If I recall correctly I installed the dual boot with EasyBCD, if that's any help..
Thanks in hope..
