Bootloaders: Windows 7 and GRUB

My recently bought SSD is only 64GB, and i've been toying with all OS's i might like. Sometimes, a bootpartition gets damaged. Here's how to fix it.

Restoring the Windows 7 bootloader:
Since my computer contains only Windows 7 i no longer need GRUB. Its defect anyway since extending the Windows 7 partition, and i like a fast boot so i don't like the countdown menu.

How to:
  • Boot from Windows 7 DVD
  • Select language
  • Choose Repair
  • Choose Windows 7
  • Choose Command line
  • Type this in without the quotes ("): "bootrec /fixmbr" and press enter.
  • Type "bootrec /FixBoot" and press enter.
  • Restart
Ofcourse its also possible to just restore GRUB: check out Supergrubdisk.
