Hardware Specs:
Laptop; Core2Duo P8400, 320GB HDD (partitioned as shown below), 4GB RAM.
Software:
Partition 1 (200GB): Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 on (NTFS)
Partition 2 (120GB): Kubuntu 9.04 x86 (EXT4)
Problem:
Cannot boot to Windows.
Kubuntu did not even detect my Server2008 installation. I manually added the lines for my Windows partition as shown below:
title Windows Server 2008 Standard
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
but then it still gives me the error "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart."
I tried Windows Startup Recovery options including the usual bootrec commands, but they don't work. I first tried "bootrec /rebuildbcd" (where it found the windows installation in C:) and then "bootrec /fixboot" and then tried to restart, but it didn't work.
I tried to remove/format the Kubuntu partition from the (Windows) recovery console command prompt, but (understandably) the EXT4 partition was not even visible.
I want to uninstall Kubuntu in a way that my Windows partition then resumes its normal operations.
Please help, my behind is on the line here! :/ No more stupid experiments for me, that's for sure.
