[ubuntu] Grub Rescue... 31 weeks 6 days ago

Ok, I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my Toshiba Satellite P755D. Ubuntu was my primary partition. That my pc booted to. I never used it, so I wanted that space on it back for windows 7. Well, I f*cked up, and when I deleted the partition, I forgot to make windows the active partition. Now, when I boot my pc it gives me the "Error: no such partition. Grub Rescue" crap.

I dual boot LINUX and win seven. Recently I formatted my LINUX partition from within ms so I could install Ubuntu. I installed from the live CD and rebooted only to find no Ubuntu but grub listed my previous LINUX which of course didn't boot. Windows booted fine, so I formatted the LINUX partition again thinking to reinstall.
