    Iḿ Using an EEE pc and dropped my win device. I dont have a disk drive as y'all may know..

    I just want to reload my windows 7 from a bootable usb, which I wanna create on ubuntu 13.04.

    After that I wanna Reinstall Ubuntu next to win7.

    Iḿ not that kinda hardware person who fixes it in a moment. So if you guys could explain it easily and usuable, you will help me a lot.

    Thanks a Lot From Holland

    when you install windows 7 it will re-write the grub. so the best solution is to first install windows create partition for ubuntu and then install ubuntu.

    Care with this software: at the installation it messed up my local grub, making my machine unbootable.
