For sometime, I had a Ubuntu 12.04 Lts on another partition because<br>> of my modeling works. 3 days ago, my friend connected his laptop HDD to my<br>> system as an external device (which had a bootable win 7 on one of its<br>> partitions). I currently have a GNU Grub menu to choose on startup between<br>> my OSs. It looks like my system tried to boot from his HDD instead of my own<br>> HDD (My boot prioraties might have been on external device !) and so my<br>> Windows 7 boot files have been corrupted and
after 2 or 3 times power up,<br>> the Grub has omitted it from the list. I just have a windows recover boot on<br>> the list. I tried to repair my windows via a bootable windows installation,<br>> but it did not recognize my windows 7 on its partition. Because of thesis<br>> works and projects, I do not want to loose my windows, and more importantly<br>> i do not want to loose my Ubuntu. I fear if I try to recover my windows via<br>> recover media it may destroy my Ubuntu boot paths. Does anyone have an idea<br>> on what should I do ? How can I repair my system ? Do I have a chance to<br>> repair or bring back or install windows 7 without loosing my ubuntu ? I<br>> appreciate your helps, Thank you.<br><br>Before doing anything else make sure your backups are up to date. You<br>should be able to access your Win partition from Ubuntu so you can<br>backup the Win stuff from Ubuntu if necessary.<br><br>Colin<br><br>--
