Hi,
I used to dual boot Windows7 RC and Ubuntu 9.04 (32bit). Recently I deleted the W7 partition and formatted the disc for data use only, but now I can't boot into Ubuntu ('no bootable device' error on startup).
Through the live cd using GParted I can see the Ubuntu partition being marked as 'extended', I assume because there's no MBR on there. Is there a way that I can create a MBR on that partition or maybe change it to 'primary'?
(P.S., I dont have the 9.04 cd anymore, I downloaded the 10.04 live cd)
Thanks,
M
