Hi,
Everything was working fine to me with Dual-boot Windwos 7 and UBuntu 13.04 on GRUB, but I think I accidentially deleted my loader files on the first partition on my single drive "sda1"
windows is on sda2 and ubuntu on sda3.

I successfully restored Ubuntu using boot-repair using 'purge grub before reinstalling it' option

WINDOWS still appears on the list but when i click it it gives me this error :

"
Windows Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent harware or software change might be the issue.
....

status: 0xc000000f
info : the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
"

my fdisk -l reads :

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

What can I do ? Thank you :smile:
