Re: Installed Edubuntu, now, Windows won't boot....

 The windows command you are looking for is:

BOOTCFG

Use this command for boot configuration and recovery. This command has the following options:

bootcfg /add
bootcfg /rebuild
bootcfg /scan
bootcfg /list

I would try scan, rebuild or add.  Although, I have not done this in a while.  However this will most likely get rid of edubuntu or suse.  You might have to follow it up with fixboot or fixmbr.  Again, it's been a while since I've done this.

I'm sure you've heard this too many times to count...  I have a brand new  HP Slimline Pavilion pc from Best Buy.  It has Windows Media Center Ed on it.  I decided to install Edubuntu because my children love playing all of the learning games.

 

One big hard drive nothing special, should be simple right??

 

Windows is the first partition on the only hard drive.  Pop in Edubunut 6.06 LTS and go....  Edubunut installed smoothly, did all the updates, upgrades, etc..  everything was fine.  But, reboot, no windows...    uhoh....

 

puter says:

chainloader (hd0,0) +1

 

Then a blinking "underscore" cursor and nothing happens.

 

I can boot to linux fine.  I can even mount and view the windows partition fine.  I can boot from a winxp pro install cd and browse the C: drive from a prompt fine.

 

I tried fixboot, nothing, fixmbr, nothing.  I even removed Edubuntu completely, repartitioned the hard drive using GParted and installed Suse 10.0 thinking maybe just maybe...  Suse boots, windows:  chainloader (hd0,0) +1

 

All the windows files are there and I've checked boot.ini like a thousand times...

 

 

Please help!
