Hello congilia If you can boot the win7 recovery usb and get to a command prompt, run diskpart and make win7 partition active then exit diskpart. change to that drive              %sysroot%\windows\system32 then run                     BCDBOOT.EXE C:\Windows that should install boot files onto windows 7 partition. Hope this helps Tom
I was recently installing a new OS (Linux) on my netbook (Dell Mini Inspiron 1012), and by mistake I did installed it into the Dell recovery partition that's at the same time has the boot files for Windows 7. So, after doing so I was not able to boot to my Windows 7 anymore. I tried first a Windows 7 recovery CD (from a bootable USB as my netbook doesn't have a CD-Rom), and it said there was no Windows 7 installation files found. And then I went to the CDs that came with the netbook from dell thinking I can just make a fresh install using them, copied it's content from another computer to a USB stick, then made it bootable. But it stops each time on the stage of loading installation files. I just don't understand how we have rescue CDs with our netbooks that doesn't have CD-Roms! but even copying those CDs content to a USB didn't work!   Now I have the Windows 7 partition with all the system files, but just missing the boot files. I tried to search for them online, if i found them I'd be able to put them in the same partition of Windows 7 and let the recovery (or grub boot-loader) detect them.   Please help me whether to get back the deleted partition, or to find the boot folders, or if I can download the recovery partition's content from Dell support. I just want my Windows 7 back.   Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
