So this was my win 7 partition before /dev/sda3
, I recognize it by amount of gb. Curently have 1 tb with 2 os installed, and one empty 250 gb drive for data only.. no os. Oh yeah and a usb containing windows is in, tried to repair startup but no go
UPD: I managed to boot onto Ubuntu, but here is the second problem I am facing: I don't see option to boot into Win 7. I did a boot repair as suggested on another response. So what can I do to have dual boot, or to find Windows?
Do note that I don't have cd drive so can't use recovery cd, and I don't have one ;)
