So I went into diskmanagement and removed the partitions containing Ubuntu and allocated the free space to my other partitions. Everything seemed ok. However, when I restarded the computer I get the error mentioned in the title. I would be forever grateful if someone could take their time and help me with this. I know it's my fault for being stupid but please help. I tried using my Vista DVD and "repair my PC" but it can't even find my Vista installation... What can I do? |

The grub loader is looking for Ubuntu - and since it can't find it, it's giving you an error. If you were able to previously boot to your Vista installation and now you can't - I suspect that something in that was done in Disk Management has "hosed" your Windows partition.
If the repair doesn't work, then I'd have to suggest starting over with a full, clean install. -------------------- - John

I have used an ubuntu live cd and can now at least access all my files. From here surely I must be able to fix my problem? I can even access the internet
 .Would it really be necessary to start over with a new install? Not that I would mind but I was just hoping for an easier solution =o. |

1. Boot to vista disk
2. Select "repair my computer" 3. Select advanced options 4. Select "Command prompt" 5. Run these commands: CODE fixboot fixmbr to uninstall GRUB. Billy3 -------------------- The forum is always a busy place. In the event I fail to reply within twenty-four hours, feel free to send me a PM.
