[Bug 1079482] [NEW] Windows 7 Not Booting

[Michael]

Public bug reported:

My computer came with Windows 7 installed on it. I wanted to try Ubuntu,
so I installed it alongside Windows 7 and everything was fine. I needed
more space on my Windows 7 partition, so I deleted the Ubuntu partition
from the hard drive. When I went to restart I got a blank screen. I
reinstalled Ubuntu allongside Windows 7 and was able to restart and boot
Windows. The next day I got the same blank screen, so I reinstalled
Ubuntu over Ubuntu, leaving the Windows 7 partition alone. After that,
when I try to boot Windows 7 it keeps sending me back to the select an
OS page. I get an error that says:

The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:

            mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda3 /media/OS

whenever I try to access the Windows OS portion of the hard drive.

When I try the command it does not work and I get a message saying that
"only root can do that"

I can not resume Windows to shut it down properly though, because I must
first unhibernate Windows.

I believe this mat be a bug.
