Dual Boot Ubuntu and Windows 7: BOOTMGR is missing when I tried to boot in Windows
- by Simon Polak
So, I don't know what exactly how I managed to delete the MBR record on windows partition. But let me explain what I did next, I ran the ubuntu boot repair tool and now Windows is not even listed in my grub loader.
So I went and booted with windows cd and choose repair. Then I ran ubuntu boot repair again via live cd. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1426181/. Still no luck.
Looks like osprobe can't detect windows on my /dev/sda2 partition. Any clues ?
Here is how my partitions look like:
