So, here's my situation:
This afternoon I decided to try out BackTrack 5, installed it, all worked fine but it wasn't so friendly so I decided to go with Ubuntu. In the installation process I accidentally set to install the boot manager (GRUB) only on the partition in which I was about to install Ubuntu, I realized that only after being stuck in the "grub rescue" limbo for a while. I reinstalled the whole thing correctly this time, I boot into it and every thing works fine.
When I decided to get back to my Windows 7, for some reason it loads only to a certain point and then stops all of a sudden ( I can tell because the red dot under the power button on the case stops flashing). I've checked the forums, I tried the "Boot-repair-disk" too as it was suggested by someone, I tried running Windows in any alternative mode possible, nothing.
I have a Windows 7 installation DVD but unfortunately it's not the same version as the one I have installed right now, so the repair utilities won't work. I've spend hours trying to solve this, the shops are closed right now (11 pm here), I've downloaded a "repair disk" iso that would work but I don't have blank dvd, that's why I mentioned the closed shops. I've tried using UNetbootin but it doesn't support nfts formats so I can't burn it unto a USB and boot it.
I am desperate, I don't want to install Windows again unless it's my only option.
