I have a system that has 3 hard drives. Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04 &
Windows 7. Haven't used Win 7 for a long time, but now I have a sudden
need to do so.
When I booted win 7 it installed updates and failed on SP 1. Googling
says a possible cause is SP 1 can't deal with grub. A suggested solution
was to unplug the linux drives and boot with just windows present. When
I try that I get the message: BOOTMGR is missing.
All the solutions I have found require that I use a Win 7 install disk
to fix it, I didn't get one when I bought this system many years ago.
What do I need to do to get win 7 to boot without the drives containing
Ubuntu present?
Thanks, Jim
