History
- Originally only Windows 7 was installed on a partition. The first partition was a 100MB recovery partition while the Windows OS and data files was on the second partition.
- Then I installed Ubuntu on a third partition. Grub took over the booting process and I had to manually reconfigure grub to get Windows 7 bootable again.
- Eventually I decided to remove Ubuntu and try out Windows 10 so that the PC can dual boot between Windows 7 and Windows 10.
- The Ubuntu partition is reformatted and replaced Windows 10, Grub is replaced with whatever Windows 10 uses to boot and Windows 7 is no longer an available option to boot.
- Removed the first "recovery partition" since it couldn't recover my installation anyways.
Current Setup
So currently my partition layout looks like this:
- First partition: Unallocated space (where recovery partition used to be)
- Second partition: Windows 7 (System, Active, Primary)
- Third partition: Windows 10 (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary)
- Fourth partition: Extended partition with free space (currently not used)
My partition table is MBR. I had to turn on "legacy boot" option in my BIOS to allow Windows 10 to install.
I haven't touched the second partition with Windows 7 so all the system files should still be intact. Windows 10 was a clean installation on a separate partition.
Both my Windows 7 and Windows 10 installation disks does not recognise my Windows 7 installation (possibly because of Grub?) so the "Auto repair" option is not an option for me.
Question
How can I MANUALLY repair the "boot-loader" so that I can boot both Windows 7 and 10?
