Hi everyone,

So a bit of a noob here. My intent was to install Kali on my external harddrive but I may have accidentally screwed up my windows7 partition, I'm not exactly sure what happened because my memory is horrendous.

So I'll repeat the whole process: installed kali successfully, presumably on my external HDD. Wasn't able to install GRUB or the other bootloader that supposedly comes with kali. I assumed that worst case I can just boot directly into windows7. I was wrong, I can't boot into windows and I can't even boot into my windows recovery partition.

So my questions/concerns are, is win7 gone? Is my recovery partition gone? Are my hard drives OK as in they are not irreparable? Is there a way to fix title so it boots into kali and/or windows?

Any advice is highly appreciated at this point.
