I had my computer dual booted with Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. My computer hasn't been running well at all, so I thought I'd use the nifty recovery program it came up with (which reinstalls my computer to it's factory settings from a partition).
Anyway, I was about to run that recovery, until I decided to delete the partition which held Ubuntu. And when I went to restart my computer for recovery, I was met by a Grub rescue screen.

How can I fix this?

If you have a Windows 7 install CD then booting into the Repair mode. This guide includes screenshots, but the summary is:

  1. Boot using the install CD
  2. Select "Repair your computer" in the bottom-left
  3. Select the Windows 7 partition
  4. Chose Startup Repair
  5. Wait

You can try using TestDisk to restore Windows-like MBR code. Note that the Windows partition needs to have the active flag set.
