comment Lost Windows 7 when loading Ubuntu
Drat - didn't work. I got hold of a Windows Recovery disc and followed your first 2 steps - both reporting success. The next step (on Ubuntu) had problems with /dev/hda. However I used Boot-Repair to fix grub instead (paste.ubuntu.com/963000) and now have to entries for Windows 7 (on /dev/sda2 & /dev/sda3) neither of which work. Both hang after printing 8 dashes with a line of coloured dots along the top of the screen. Any additional help very welcome.

From Windows - not sure of the details. I'm trying to get hold of a Windows DVD so I can follow your advice.

Thanks. I have a problem with the first part. The windows setup was on a hidden partition, and I wasn't given a CD. Can you tell me how to access the partitions?

Tried it, but no luck. I have sent the URL that the utility gave me to boot repair.

Thanks for replying. The version is 12.04 LTS. The OS device seems to have all the files and directories of my windows C:\ directory.
