    MBR has lost windows 7 boot - please help

    Hi,



    My system as it was:

    MBR - Boot
    Looked at XP to start

    Ext partition:
    Windows 7
    Linux MInt XFCE 17.3

    Yesterday I removed XP by deleting the Partition using GParted.

    Now I have tried to get it working to boot windows 7 but what ever I do I cannot get Windows 7 to load,


    On looking at the pastebin, I see this


    sda6: __________________________________________________ ________________________

    File system: ntfs
    Boot sector type: Windows 7/2008: NTFS
    Boot sector info: According to the info in the boot sector, sda6 starts
    at sector 159350784. But according to the info from
    fdisk, sda6 starts at sector 174958536.
    Operating System:
    Boot files:

    Any help would be much appreciated !

    Thanks

    Can you follow the instructions in the link be low to get me a first scan log please


    Also if you can boot into the recovery console. Then run chkdsk /f /r from the command prompt. Then run startup repair twice. I am on my mobile so that is why i sent you to thr other thread to see instructions for frst. Sorry for the errors this phone is terrible for forums

      Thanks for the offer of help, in the end I did get it fixed , not sure how, it was combination of Linux “Boot-Repair” and Windows 7 CD using its Terminal window and things I found to type in about MBR i found on the internet.
