Hi I have a big problem with my Dell xps8300
I had windows 7 and I decided to install ubuntu beta 12 alongside window without wubby
I boot up into usb stick which had ubuntu beta and went for install
Selected first option install besides window
Installation finished
Start machine and boot up into ubuntu
My windows 7 is gone now but not panic I have Dell back up utility and ease backup +windows 7 installation cd
I tried with easy back to get windows back, restore finished successful
Boot up and I got black screen with some grub text
Tried Dell back up and the same black screen after successful restore
Boot up with windows cd and open cmd to fix mbr bootrec.exe /fixmbr
Mbr successfully fixed
Start pc and grub is gone
Start pc with window cd to install window
Window 7 start copying files and at the very end screen goes black with a white dash blinking
Start pc with partition manager delete windows partition and linux partition, format, try windows installation again and the very end of copying files, i get the dash blinking again
I tried to merge window and linux partition and I can't
When I deleted partitions before I deleted also swap partition I had for linux
Now I don't have windows nor ubuntu
I need some serious help
What can I do to install windows back and merge windows partition which I shrank before to install ubuntu ?
Any help is very much appreciated
Thanks
