I recently bought HP Pavilion g6 laptop. It came with 4 partitions. I deleted HP_TOOLS (I took backup of it) and Recovery partitions (As I shrink the main C drive partition; recovery drive is no longer working). I installed ubuntu 12.04. It installed fine and my grub shows both windows and ubuntu. But, when I am trying to login to Windows 7 OS, I am getting a blue screen of death and restarting. Can any one help me out with this. I don't want to re-install Windows.

Thanks, Bharat

We would like to answer questions but they do need to be about Ubuntu. You need to stop the "restarting" when BSOD, check the notice and search that (for instance) on the Microsoft Knowledge Base. – Rinzwind Jan 20 at 21:03

Do you have your windows discs? Try the startup repair option.
It would be great if you could try to take a photo of the blue screen as they normally show the cause of the problem.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have windows discs. Blue screen says: "Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run chkdsk /F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer" – Bharat Jan 20 at 21:24

Windows doesn't always agree with resizing partitions. As said above, you can try to use repair option. But I'm doubtful it will work.
