I have also tried to install windows7 but it shows same error.. A fresh install of Windows should have overwriten the MBR and point to it's boot loader on C:\, something must have gone wrong in your install process. > " error:unknown file system " and again the prompt comes. > 13.Is there any solution for this..? Hopefully you have a small partition of say 2 GB of disk space (no swap). Install ubuntu server minimal. This would restore your grub along with the Windows in the menu. You can then boot Windows (assuming it is not brain damaged - see above comment) and do 'fdisk /mbr' from the CLI. -- Arun Khan "As a layman, I would say we have it, but as a scientist I have to say, 'What do we have?'"
