Background: I dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7. I use an HP laptop.
So here's the deal. My Windows 7 partition got a virus a few weeks back. So, I removed the partition and replaced that partition with a squeaky clean version of Windows 7. Then, since Windows had installed, I could not get grub to work. So I booted up my disk and installed a third partition, which was a second Ubuntu partition, which I plan on deleting. I did this so I could get grub back. Now I have grub back but no Windows. I can mount Windows from both partitions. Then, I modified the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file to add windows. It showed up in grub but when I booted into it, it says "bootmgr not found." I also did an update on grub and that didn't work. I want to be able to boot into that windows partition.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Cheers
