While installing Ubuntu, I made a tactical error of my laptop turning off during the Partitioning of my hard drive (manual).

Okay, so in my Grub loader i have Ubuntu (12.04) (works just fine) , ubuntu recovery, memeory test, Windows 7 (immediatly goes to an error/not found screen), and windows 7 recovery.

When I go into windows 7 recovery, and click to do a system restore to factory reset, you must restart the system to initiate. But, It just restarts to GRUB menu.

I have an HP Pavilion dm4-2015dx

My end goal is to do a factory reset, and re-install Ubuntu so I can properly dual boot both OS's.

I dont have a windows 7 disk laying around, and I dont have any backed up images of my hardrive prior to the accident.

Any ideas to how I can get windows back on my laptop?
