Han Solo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) We have a HP Pavilion Slimline S5-1260 with installed Win 7 Home Premium OS. My brother attempted to install Ubuntu some time ago and was unsuccessful. So later he attempted to install Mint and was successful. But then the machine was no longer able to boot to win 7. I don't think any partition was formatted but he later installed another version of win 7 in one partition from which the machine now boots from. I was wondering how to enable the original partition containing the original Win 7 Home Premium with it's hp recovery etc. Is that possible to do at this point? Of note computer management indicates that the drive is divided into 4 partitions. System Reserve 100 MB, C 638.45 GB, F Ubuntu 146.48 GB and G Backup 146.48 GB. All partitions are NTFS.

Tripredacus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You should be able to boot into Windows 7 by simply fixing the boot information. Where are you viewing the disk information from? Linux?You'll need a method to boot WinPE and have access to its command prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
