I had a dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu 12, and I deleted the ubuntu partitions, along with GRUB 2. Now i get this error and can't boot to windows.

I have a bootable usb with ubuntu.

Will simply installing ubuntu restore GRUB and fix the problem?

(I know it can be done with the ubuntu live CD without installing it, but i want to know if installing it will fix the problem.)

Do you want to install Ubuntu? Do you want to boot into Windows? – Lucio Apr 29 '13 at 19:32
I want to have Ubuntu and dual boot with windows, as i have had previously. – Bojan Serafimov Apr 29 '13 at 19:36
But you only have Windows 7 installed now, right? And you can't even boot it, or I'm missing something? – Lucio Apr 29 '13 at 19:40
Yes, I have windows installed, and I can't boot because GRUB replaced the thing that boots windows, and i deleted GRUB. – Bojan Serafimov Apr 29 '13 at 19:45
If you want to install Ubuntu as dual boot with Windows 7, then follow this post – Lucio Apr 29 '13 at 19:53
I've already seen those. My question is, do I have to do those things, even if I want to install Ubuntu? Will GRUB install automatically? I think I made that clear in the brackets. – Bojan Serafimov Apr 29 '13 at 19:59
Ok, thank you. I've got nothing to lose if i try, anyway. – Bojan Serafimov Apr 29 '13 at 20:03
