HELP Cant restore MDR

[tacomanmcjab]

Hello guys,

I decided to uninstall ubuntu by booting into windows 7 via grub and deleting the ubuntu partition and extending the windows partiiton to take up its space.

Doing so I did not restore the mdr. So when I rreboot my computer I am greeted with grub rescue.

I tried booting into a ubuntu live cd and entering

On the terminal:

sudo apt-get install ms-sys

then

ms-sys --mbr /dev/hdX

unfotunatley I am greeted with: "couldn't find package ms-sys"

What do I do guys D: I am quite lost, and really would like to use my windows.

So from a booted live Ubuntu cd or thumbdrive lets see the bootscript read out; in my signature just click on it and follow the instructions. Come back to the thread and click on the # in the reply panel this makes code tags paste all the text in between. Personally it wouldn't hurt to post the script before running the command.

Here is a link for a W7 recovery disc and the instructions to it's use, see also the W7 forums link as well just run the one highlighted command.

1) Boot with your Vista/Windows 7 installation disk. Hit <Enter> at the language selection prompt then hit <R> for Repair to get to the Repair section.
2) Select the command prompt (console) and type in the following commands:
BootRec.exe /fixmbr (#updates MBR master boot record...do not run if you still want grub)
chkdsk /r
BootRec.exe /FixBoot (#updates PBR partition boot)
BootRec.exe /ScanOs
BootRec.exe /RebuildBcd

Hi

You can use Lilo as well to fix the MBR using the Live CD.

sudo apt-get install lilo

sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr

(assuming sda)

As for ms-sys, read this
