    Windows 7 not booting after installing Ubuntu

    I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic to a computer where I also run Windows 7 64bit. I resized my partician to 60GB to add Ubuntu. After installing and updating, Ubantu works fine, however, when I try to boot Windows 7, it makes it to the “Starting Windows” screen and doesn't continue to boot. It freezes and I can't access the OS.


    Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix this?

    If you want us to review you system and see if we see something missing:

    You can use the windows CD/DVD to repair your windows install, but it may reinstall the windows boot loader into the MBR. Some repairs can be done from Ubuntu live CD or install.

    You will need to boot with your Vista/Windows 7 installation disk. Hit Enter at the language selection prompt then hit "R" to get to the repair section. You can then select the automatic boot repair tool, but it often will not do any good. Then select the command prompt (console) and type in the following commands:
    BootRec.exe /fixmbr #updates MBR master boot record do not run if you still want grub
    chkdsk /r
    BootRec.exe /FixBoot #updates PBR partition boot
    BootRec.exe /ScanOs
    BootRec.exe /RebuildBcd
