I dual booted Windows 7 with Ubuntu on my old laptop a few months ago to screw around, and today I decided to factory restore it because the HDD was almost full and it's been really slow lately.
It is a Toshiba laptop, so apparently you are supposed to hold down "0" while booting up to access the factory restore stuff. I tried that, and it wasn't working, which I guessed might be because of the Ubuntu boot manager thing that was popping up. I went back into Windows 7 and deleted the Ubuntu partition. Now when I start it it gets past BIOS and then just says:
[cpp]error: no such partition.
grub rescue>_[/cpp]
I tried doing some of the things from googling, but none of the ones I have tried have worked. Do you know how I can fix this?
To be clear, I don't want to get back into Ubuntu. I want to get the factory restore working.
Thanks,
