grub broken and wont boot

Question

i had ubuntu 12.10 running allongside with windows 7 (dual boot, 1 hdd). when installing ubuntu i accidentally gave it too much room. so i decided that i would remove it and reinstall it but this time on a 100gb partition instead of a 300. so in windows i removed the ubuntu partition and extended my win7 partition back to 913 then i hibernated windows to see if it worked... as it turns out grub is still here and now when i boot it says "no such partition" and im in a grub recovery console... any idea how to get back into windows? PLEASE i need it!

EDIT I need to fix this ASAP. PLEASE. my windows 7 is hibernated and i cant partition my hdd to install ubuntu again to fix this. I NEED HELP. is there a command i can type inside of the grub recovery console just to boot to win 7?

Solution 1

You deleted the Ubuntu partition, in turn deleting /boot which is where GRUB lives. The simple way is to reinstall Ubuntu and all shall be peaceful...

Solution 2

fixed it. i just went to http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/ and it fixed it. but i think grub is gone but i dont care. i got my win 7 back. thanks everyone for your time!

is there any way i can just make grub let me boot into windows?

[Megaeverything]

can ubuntu still install even if windows is hibernated?

[thorstorm]

I think it could install just the same

[Megaeverything]

what do you mean on the reduced partition. my windows is hibernated and i dont think it will install on it

[thorstorm]

Create a new partition in the space left by the deletion of the old Ubuntu installation.
