Deleted Ubuntu partition accidentally, Grub Rescue problem

Question

I have a laptop with dual os windows 7 and ubuntu 13.03.

I wanted to uninstall ubuntu from it. So, I formatted partitions of ubuntu from windows Disk management and make that free space into a new volume.

After that I restarted my system, then it shows "error: no such partition.grub rescue>" Then I came to know that I need to reset MBR.

I tried everything like boot-repair tool, boot from windows 7 live-usb but it shows 'boot error' everytime. I need my windows back. please help me.

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Sorry but we only deal with Ubuntu related problems. Yours is with Windows and it not booting. Answer will be within windows (maybe a windows resque dvd). Something like fixmbr. — Rinzwind, Feb 18 '16 at 16:21
@Rinzwind Seems like you didn't understand his question. He's trying to install Ubuntu. — Eduardo Cola, Feb 18 '16 at 16:29
fix windows mbr and using a windows disc (fixmbr fixboot)... still the question itself is a windows related and doesn't belong here... — Prasad RD, Feb 18 '16 at 16:36
@EduardoCola no he removed ubuntu but the system still boots to grub, It is a windows problem. fixmbr. SaishivaGudla "boot-repair" is to fix Ubuntu boot. — Rinzwind, Feb 18 '16 at 16:59
I'm voting this as off-topic here because this is a windows-related post, and off topic from here. — , Apr 24 '16 at 22:19

I think you need to boot from an Ubuntu live cd/usb to fix that problem. You want to boot from the live USB (try Ubuntu without installing) and reinstall GRUB in the MBR. Some relevant instructions are here.

As a general rule: Use Windows tool to fix windows issues and Linux tools to fix linux issues. That will save you a lot of problems in the future.

P.S. Even though this approach should fix your problem I may have missed some important details, so do some research (and backup) before trying those things.

I don't have a ubuntu live cd/usb. – Saishiva Gudla Feb 18 '16 at 16:48
Ask a friend to create one for you - it can be done from Windows as well. All you need is a 4gb usb drive. – Karsus Feb 18 '16 at 16:57
Ok, then.. I didn't have any ubuntu partition.. I make all of them to a new volume before restarting it to do so – Saishiva Gudla Feb 18 '16 at 16:59
