Dual Boot Issues

If Startup Repair (Windows bootable install medium) doesn't work, then try Macrium Reflect's Fix Boot utility (on their boot disk - also on Kyhi's very useful boot disk - from the top of the Software and Apps section here).

However I should wait for guidance from someone familiar with dual booting Linux.

That MR Rescue or Kyhi's Rescue is the go-to fix for these things, but I'd be curious to see what this looks like. If all he did was delete the Ubuntu partition, the config may still show in MSCONFIG, and just needs to be deleted and re-boot. It may fix itself. Just a thought.....

Example only:

You'll have to get on a different machine and get the software and install the rescue's to a thumb drive. Than come back and boot from the thumb on your busted one.

It may be easier to use Kyhi's disk, 'cos to get M Reflect's boot medium, you first have to install Macrium. On the other hand, Macrium will then do the work for you creating a bootable USB drive.

Kyhi's disk is a very useful tool to have, with a range of software as you can see from the screenshot and list.

To reliably make a bootable USB flash drive from an ISO file, do this:

Plug the drive into a USB port of a functioning Windows PC.

Open a command prompt.
Run diskpart.

Once diskpart is running, enter the following commands in sequence:

list disk
select disk #
- replace # with the actual disk number of the USB flash drive
clean
- this will erase the selected drive, make sure it is the USB flash drive!
create part pri
format fs=fat32 quick
active
exit
exit

Then mount your ISO file.
(By default you can simply right click the iso file, and click Mount. However, Mount will not be available if iso files have been associated with a different program).

Copy all the files and folders from the mounted ISO file to the USB flash drive.

(If stuck you can open the iso with 7-zip, a free program).

According to his specs, it's his machine, custom built. Desktop. He doesn't say so directly, but I suspect the Networking Class is Online.

Unless he is using a laptop not mentioned or listed. Home or school.
