Can't Boot into Windows

[baseballer10p]

Hi,
I recently set up a dual boot on a single hard drive for Vista and Ubuntu. I decided I didn't like Ubuntu, so I deleted its partition and extended Vista's partition to cover my entire hard drive. However, I have a problem. Now when I turn on my computer, Vista won't boot. Instead, I get a message that says, "GRUB Loading... Please wait... Error 22." Can anyone help me figure out how to get back into Windows so I can use my computer again? Thanks.

Have you tried Vista's startup repair (http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/5c59f8c1-b0d1-4f1a-af55-74f3922f3f351033.mspx)?

Yeah, and it still gives me the same error when I try to start the computer.

how about bootrec (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392)?

thanks. bootrec worked. I used bootrec /fixmbr. I saw fixmbr on another forum, but it didn't explain that I had to type bootrec first. Thanks again.

fixmbr was from the old days of pre-Vista OS .. with Vista there is a unified command bootrec.exe is the new tool that unifies a number of commands that were spread all over the place before. bootrec.exe would be the command and /fixmbr is the option that fixes the master boot record.

Glad it worked for you.
