Screwed up MBR

Question

MBR

I put my wife on an Ubuntu 10.10 netbook next to Windows 7.
In the end, the second one does not boot, I need to run “recovery”, and I don’t have a drive in the netbook and, most importantly, there is no installation disk (exactly the one from which Win7 was installed (the image on the USB flash drive was written))
In the Win7 console (recovery), you must enter:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

Can these commands be run from Ubuntu through other equivalent commands? There is a bootable USB flash drive with an Ubuntu image (if anything :))

Answer 1

STAND! Download the ms-sys package, it can write Windows MBRs.

Answer 2

what to prevent loading windows grub'om?

Answer 3

If you restore the Windows bootloader, you will no longer be able to boot Ubuntu.
You need to configure grub to be able to boot both systems if it is not configured automatically.

Answer 4

Thanks for the help, I'm going to reinstall Windows!

Answer 7

Maybe the partitions have moved, and Windows is trying to load it for the wrong reason? Caught something similar to WinXP. I think in 7 the same scheme is possible.

Answer 9

Show the partition table fdisk -l
. It is necessary to form a boot.ini file and drop it into the system partition vin7.
