Hello Friends,
I have Toshiba Satellite A 100 Laptop which was pre-installed with Windows Vista home basic.
Now, I wanted to try Ubuntu. So I followed the various webpages which guides us through the Dual OS installation and I was happy with the Vista-Ubuntu package.
Now, I don't know what happened but I screwed up my Ubuntu Partition and just deleted it when using Vista.
Then when laptop re-started , neither of OS opened. SO I freaked out as I only have one computer to access. I tried re-installing Recovery disc but it didn't help at all. And it kept on saying error 1117 and failed to read image from the source.
So to use computer, I thought to install Ubuntu on full hard drive. I did that and then I was able to get internet access and work my way through but I do want to re-install Vista.
From the webpages, I gathered that I might have played with MBR of my laptop. I tried to super grub disk from USB and there I get error 25. I tried to use “sudo apt-install ms-sys” and It says “ms-sys” not found or missing.
Now at the start I do get GRUB with options of Ubuntu and Windows Vista but whenever I try to boot Vista It says “ winload.exe corrupt or missing”. And the recovery disc of on no use. I have tried it many times.
Please kindly help.
I seriously want to re-install vista and I am not going to fiddle with laptop next time, when its not my cup of tea at all !!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Meghal.
