Robin - Thanks for the reply. I do not have a Win 7 DVD since my OS is factory installed one and I forgot to make a recovery DISC. Is there anyway i could restore my system without dropping by at a Dell Service Center which would at least take a couple of Weeks for me to get my laptop back.
I have a Dell Studio 15 with Core i7 740 processor, 4 GB RAM and 500g HDD.
Windows 7 Home Premium Factory Installed
I have installed Linux Mint 10 last month and everything was so fine. I have deleted the Linux Partition by mistake and my default boot was using GRUB.
So i got a GRUB error when i restarted my system and so i loaded my system with a FreeDOS LiveCD and ran "fdisk /mbr" command to fix my Master Boot Record.
GRUB has got removed, But windows 7 is booting up and it is showing error and prompts me to load Windows 7 CD/DVD
I have misplaced my Windows 7 recovery Disk, My BAD.
What are my other options and how to fix this?? Please help.
P.S. I tried hitting F8 to get into advanced options, No Luck:-(
Hi, Have you tried this here, when i ran into removing the GRUB, I used this method,
Boot off the Win 7 dvd, and go into the command Prompt, then type in this,
boot rec/fixboot
boot rec/fixmbr
boot rec/fixboot
I'm almost sure there was a space in between the boot and rec, but not with the rest. If you run into problems, remove the space.

If you live in the US, then click on my green sig to order a disc, really you need a disc for it to work. But if you can get a hold off a disc, retail or OEM, full or upgrade, give it a try.

There is a link set out below, burn the ISO to disk, and boot off it, select repair your computer, and then select the Command Prompt,
