I knew this would happen! I was trying to run Ubuntu along-side Win7.
Basically, what happened is I allocated my hard drive.. I didn't reformat it, I only changed the allocation space... It was a section of the "do not use" and the do not use section was larger than my used section.. so I don't understand what happened next...
I did that, went back and Ubuntu can't find my original Windows 7 OS! It is still showing my used space on the sda2/ but I can't boot into windows. This was all during my Ubuntu installation.
Is there ANY way to get into windows or locate my files ???
*** EDIT*** I ran system diagnostic check and it is saying that it can not locate the bootable device. Any suggestions?
***FINAL EDIT****
After mounds of research, I found the solution. Perhaps database this link, because I found alot of people who had the same problem as me, but with no answers.
Here's how I did it. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Pavilion-dv7-3160us-will-not-boot/td-p/1428009
