I had a Windows 7/Ubuntu dual-boot set up on my laptop. I deleted Ubuntu, and when I load up my computer, I am now met with a screen displaying the following:

error: no such partition. grub rescue>

How can I have my computer boot straight into Windows 7 again?

Solved: I created a win7 system repair disc using another machine, and fixed the problem using the bootrec command within command prompt.

The easiest method is to boot up with your Windows 7 disc, choose System Recovery Options and then click Startup Repair. That should generally remove grub from your master boot record and allow you to boot into Windows normally.

In Windows 7 recovery, type bootrec.exe /fixboot and then type bootrec.exe /fixmbr.

The Ubuntu partition is an extended partition. If you are in Ubuntu, C:(os) is mounted in Ubuntu with wine.

You have to boot with Windows rescue-cd and go to command prompt cmd. Use diskpart more information diskpart/help

Then list disk select disk list partition select partition => set c:os active

Reboot

With easeus partition master you can change extended partition into basic of logical

Install GRUB on Windows if you still have to choose between Ubuntu / Windows during startup.
