a newbie to Linux and tried to install Ubuntu via Win 7 from my SD card where I used a program to mount the iso file. I launched the installer from Windows and I asked the program to reboot and it launched Ubuntu from SD card and all looked good viewing Ubuntu. I connected to wifi, pressed install, It asked to create a partition and agreed to the default size. It asked to install a 3rd party software (I think for flash/adobe) and I agreed. All looked good until the very end. Then it stopped. I Googled in Ubuntu the issue and tried to cancel install but rebooted in the end.

Now, I get a choice in the beginning between win 7 and Ubuntu. However my arrow down is broken (I know, I know, I already ordered a new keyboard for laptop) Regardless, I cannot scroll down to win 7, and I by default get into the broken Ubuntu, which lead to a black screen and nothing else. After I hard close down and restart I can get into the GNU Grub..

Now, I can get into GNU GRUB w. 2.02~beta-9unbuntu1.

Dont have a win recovery CD at hand . But offcourse I can get one.


But I heard it's possible to launch Win From GRUB? Can I launch Windows from Gnu Grub? Then I can fix it! It or least work today :) any suggestion are very appreciated!

I run win 7, 64 bit, i7-2620M, 8 GB ram, upgraded to ssd harddisk 500 GB, Sony VAIO, VPCSB28gg

Thanks!
