I just intalled ubuntu(the real one) and now i am unable to run on my previous win7.
As far as i know I didn't overwrite the windows partition.
If I try to launch windows it breaks down directly(with safe mode too).
Windows isn't able to start (I even lost access to the f11 menu) and asks me to insert a boot device (which I do not have sine it was pre-installed).



I followed some tipps and installed boot_repair which gives the following output http://paste.ubuntu.com/6525891/ (some EFI detected).
Altough I am a newbie I presume the error is coming from the ubuntu booter.



I am completely lost so thank you for any help :)

The origin of the error was way more simple... The installation disk my friend gave me turned out to be actually a 32 bit version.
Therefore gnud was 32bits too and unable to run 64bits windows7. One used Bios and the ohter UEFI (as a previous comment explains).



I reinstalled the 64-version and everything works fine.



I am very sorry for having asked while the answer was right in front of my eyes :)
Thank you anyway for trying to help me.



It is a real pleasure to see pople offering help.
