I recently ran the Wubi installer from within Windows 7. The installer failed part-way through, and now when I reboot I am forced to choose Windows or Ubuntu. Ubuntu fails (as I expected, and am okay with since I will use a virtual machine for Ubuntu), however I can no longer boot into Windows. It seems that it is pointing to the HP Windows Recovery partition.
I attempted using Windows disks to do the automated repair, with no luck. I also tried the recboot.exe commands.
The output of my boot_info_script is:

I am thinking that the boot loader should point to /dev/sda2. I haven't been able to find out how to modify the boot loader that is there now to do that.
Please help.
