Return to Windows

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

 

Well, I have installed ubuntu in my sister netbook, but the processor isnt compatible with the Distro, so I-ve decided return to windows, but the GRUB doesnt stop appear everytime I turn on the netbook, I need restore the mbr partition, my DD format is NTFS. 

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but there is no OS in the netbook, the only Im using is LiveCD (USB) with linuxMint.

 

 

Edit 1:

 

Well, seems Ive erased GRUB, but now is appearing the msg: BOOTMGR is missing ....

 

I got a USB bootable with WinXP, but it doesnt start. lol Im fked up.

If I were you,
I would first (if possible) clone the whole thing (as it is now) into an external usb drive (with clonezilla or something like that? Or within Linux Mint with dd or some other command, but I've never done stuff like this)

If you mess with wrong commands you could fk it up for good, so it's better to have a copy, it's up to you.

That being said, I think there is a thing you can use, it's called ms-sys
http://linux.die.net/man/1/ms-sys
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/ms-sys

after you put it in Linux Mint you can:
$ sudo fdisk -l

$ sudo ms-sys -w /dev/drivename

where drivename is the drive with windows

*I never tried it so be careful, I don't know if it will fix your problem*
