I have dual boot configured with Windows 7 (32bit) and Ubuntu 12.04(64bit). I installed Ubuntu after windows, now my windows is corrupt due to some virus and I need to reinstall it. Currently when I start my PC, grub loader comes up and I need to select Ubuntu or Windows.



I was wondering how can I install windows again and still have my Ubuntu install? Is there a way to do this?



I do not want to install Ubuntu again and lose my settings and data there.



Thanks,
Ketan

Point to note: By dual boot you meant Ubuntu not installed by wubi.



Install windows 7 as usual in the same drive as it is now. It will replace the GRUB and ubuntu will not be bootable. But ubuntu isn't deleted. You can recover it using a simple tool boot-repair without complicated commands.



Boot using ubuntu disk after installation of windows 7.



Use boot-repair to perform a Recomemnded Repair . Instructions are here
