You are going to have to be able to boot from a CD of some sort to be able to fix this. You need to reinstall the Windows mbr. At the moment you have grub installed to the mbr and it is looking for the rest of itself in the Ubuntu root partition - which you deleted.

Method 1:

Boot from a Windows 7 repair disc or Mirosoft Windows 7 installation DVD. An OEM manufacturers restore disc will not do. Go to the command prompt and run:


bootrec /FixMbr

You did create a Windows 7 repair disc from within Windows while you were still able to boot into it, didn't you? If you didn't and you need one and you have access to another working Windows 7 system, then follow this guide to create one:

Unfortunately, you need Windows and Silverlight to be able to watch that.

Method 2:

Boot from an Ubuntu live CD and make sure you are connected to the internet. Try one of these three methods:

The lilo method works well, but check that your boot drive is sda before you run that code.
