Today on one my home desktop, I deleted the Linux partition under Windows Vista using ‘Disk Management’ where the Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty was installed as a dual boot option as I was running out of space. But when I tried to reboot the system, the system is no longer booting due to corrupted MBR.

So, I have to manually repair the boot loader using Vista setup DVD disk. In the recovery options, when I selected, “Startup repair – Automatically fix problems which are preventing windows from starting”, that did not help. So, I selected Command Prompt option and then ran “BootRec /FixMBR followed by BootRec /FixBoot” and that did rebuild the boot loader.
