Windows 7 boot issue

[cavan21]

Hi there

The problem I have with my windows 7 laptop is that I made a new partition and then tried to install debian on it using Unetbooting from a flash drive.
There was a issue when the debian partition manager said it couldnt do it.
Now I have a error message saying no operating system found.

Please help me on this or redirect me to another article

Many thanks

how did u make a new partition on an already partitioned drive?

sounds like you killed your original partition, and now have a blank drive.

Its not that because I have checked the drive in a drive bay on my desktop and the files are still there

Thanks for the comment though.

Hi


you will probably need access to another PC with Internet access and a Windows 7 System Recovery Disc

(there are 2 versions for 32 bit & 64bit Windows 7)


If you do not have access to a Windows 7 PC with same bit version of Windows 7 you can download them at link below
(Home, Pro Ultimate is not important just same 32 or 64 bit version)

http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

This can help put back the Windows 7, MBR & boot manager

Or use genuine Windows 7 DVD if available

It may require a few cycles to complete the repairs

best of luck

Thanks for the information
but without spending the money on a repair disk could I repair from a windows 7 trial cd?

Many thanks
