Recover back booting problem with Windows 7 after removing Ubuntu

Hi all,

Another thing I would share here based on my recent experience. I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 earlier using boot cd long ago and it was installed in a different partition in a different disk. Yesterday I thought of uninstalling it but based on my search, if it is installed using boot cd, we need to delete the partition where the Ubuntu is installed. So i proceed to delete the partition with disk management utility in Windows 7. After that, when i reboot the machine, it is unable to boot to Windows 7, it shows some error and "grub rescue>" DOS command. Tried some commands but didn't work.

So at last i inserted my Windows 7 dvd to the dvd drive, boot the machine using the cd and try to repair it. In the first screen that appear, there is an option to install windows, below it there is options to "repair your computer". Click on "repair your computer". Once clicked, it will go to another screen with options to repair such as memory recovery, startup recovery and so on. Click on open command prompt. Once a command prompt is opened, type in "bootrec.exe" without the quotes and press enter. It will show the options you can use under that command to fix issues and descriptions about it. For me, i did all of it. Example, the first option that is displayed there is /FixMbr to fix the master boot record. So type in "bootrec.exe /FixMbr" without the quotes and press enter. There will be a result of the command execution displayed at the command prompt screen itself. Do the same thing by changing the term after / with the other 3 option that is displayed. Example the next one would be "bootrec.exe /FixBoot". After all command is executed, you can reboot your machine and see that it will boot fine with Windows 7.

Hope I can share this tips to everyone out there!

A rainy sunday

I woke up, its a rainy sunday morning, nice cool breeze with the urge to fall asleep again. Then i started to wonder about my money, why is it getting less to fast, there must be a reason. There was a lot of spending in this month due to moving to new house, car service, etc. Now i am in the mood that what i had way back during study time where we will try our best to save as much as possible. Even now i'm thinking what to eat, and let it be less consuming money. Guess i gotta plan in the next income on how to spend on it, maybe get some plans on saving it.

Facebook Tips: Recall a friend request

Facebook Tips:

In order to recall a friend request in Facebook that is long pending approval, go to the profile page of the other party and there is a link 'cancel friend request' under the profile picture at left bottom.

This can eliminate unwanted updates from the other party coming on your news feed and eliminate the 'waiting' for approval of a friend request.

Viewing network connections in Windows 7

Windows 7 users must be wondering how to view network connections in a window like the one in Windows XP. Here it is, go to start > type ncpa.cpl in the search box and press enter. This will bring you to a separate window showing you the network connections in the PC that can't be viewed via control panel (normal way).

This method can be used in Windows XP as well by typing the same command in (start > run) field box. This can eliminate unnecessary time spent by going through the control panel and such. :D

Wednesday
