I installed kali on my hp pavilion dv6, I followed some instructions on a website called LinuxBSDos.com called Dual-boot Windows 7 and Kali Linux. I went to boot up after finishing the install hoping to boot to windows and use EasyBCD add an entry to get a nifty boot up between kali and win7.
It didn't go so well, it booted to missing operating system, it would not boot to either partition, I freaked and downloaded the first boot-repair-disk I could find and try to repair it.....at this point I think I really buggered the boot files or disk.
So I go ahead and format and repartition the different partitions into one free space again and do a full basic kali install letting it do the partitioning etc, and boot to grub where it boots to Kali just fine, it will not boot into either windows7 option, it will seem like its booting and show the windows7 logo a bit of loading then a quick blue screen and back to the beginning asking me to repair it. I do not have a windows cd.
I can see the windows drive and all my files through my kali install. Is there a way to download and replace some files or edit them through kali into that partitions windows boot files, and fix it that way or do I need to boot with a windows boot repair utility, I would like to repair it without backing up the files and reinstalling, as I do not have a windows cd, although I could prob download one.
I am a noob at the linux environment....just a heads up. I am learning, just getting frustrated with this dual boot thing....
