Hi there,
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat onto my Asus Eeepc 1215n notebook.
I previously had Windows 7 installed, and still do, but it wont boot anymore due to the error stated below.
Firstly, I accidentally installed grub2 to partition /dev/sda6 (where ubuntu 10.10 was to be installed) misread the installation part and thought that i was choosing where to install linux :-/
So I then used EasyBCD to be able to boot into linux. I then found out about grub2 and installed that.
Both win7 and ubuntu were dual booting fine. Then I was intrigued by the windows vista (not actually having Vista loaded on my pc, but being able to boot into it?!), so clicked to load vista, and it came up with the "recover, backup, exit" options, so I exited. Next time I tried to open win7 I receive this error:
I'm not at home at the moment, so cant back up my whole c:\ drive, so I don't really want to use the recover option from the vista partition.
I've download the windows 7 recovery cd from http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
but as i dont have a cd drive, ive tried using both unetbootin and universalusbinstaller to load it onto a usb. But when i boot into the usb, it just shows "default" on a 10second countdown, that resets when it gets to 0 or when you press default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks
PS I was using EasyBCD v2.0.2
