Hey all, I recently installed ubuntu onto a memory stick, thinking it would work the same way as the liveUSB. But however it did not run directly from the USB as the live version did, if I tried to it wouldn't find the operating system and would default back to the hard drive and I would select ubuntu in the windows boot manager which would run grub on the USB.
This was fine until I didn't want my hard drive to ask to boot Ubuntu anymore, so I followed some online advice to rest the windows MBR, and not much changed, except now when I select windows or Ubuntu from the MBR screen it cannot find either.
I could change the USB with Ubuntu back into a liveUSB and then I would at least have some access back to my computer, but can someone recommend an actual method as to reseting windows 7 MBR through ubuntu?
