I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on the same partition

Some time later, decided to uninstall Ubuntu.So I booted Ubuntu,Changed the hd related to it to NTFS,I did NOT extended my main drive

restarted-> GRUB rescue>. No surprise since I had just wiped out the whole GRUB directory staff

Now I just want to boot into my windows.Move my necessary files to an external memory and reinstall the windows seven

What I have in my hands:

Ubuntu live CD, A copy of win7 DVD

I tried to make use of the win7 DVD(I had lost my DVD) to fix the mbr but the problem is when I choose repair, It says that this version of Windows is incompatible with yours

What should I do?

One way of doing that, is to download the Ultimate Boot CD, once downloaded, go ahead and burn the ISO to CD, boot from it, and run a command prompt.

Once you get the prompt, run the the following two commands in a command prompt:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /rebuildbcd
