I was running ubuntu dual boot and wanted to remove windows altogether. Ubuntu was installed on my pc not on disc. I then used os uninstaller to get rid of windows. Ubuntu is still in there somwhere, but after reboot i just get bootmgr missing message. I have no windows disc at hand till monday and only my phone for internet. Any way around this at all? Please help. System is mainly asus, i think. I know there is an ezflash option that appears at reboot... Lost here lol :-) maya

If you don't have any boot CD You will not be able to repair Your MBR :( It is not possible from BIOS setup.

Here is described how to restore Grub from Ubuntu CD:

How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)

You can also fix this using other Linux/Unix boot CD's. Even from Windows (installed) or DOS (Grub2Dos).

It is also possible with a liveUSB. Use the media which you used to install Ubuntu. – To Do Nov 30 '12 at 20:55
