Hi, I've really messed up and computer is at a complete standstill with a cd locked into the cd/dvd drive.
I wanted to install LL in a dual boot with Windows 7 on my laptop and everything went well but I messed up using Easy BCD and labeled the windows partition as LL.
I know what happened and know how to fix it but I can't get into either Windows or LL.
When I try to boot the computer, I just get a 'grub>' prompt and cannot find how to go any further to get into LL.
What I really need is to get into Windows where I know how to fix the problem but no joy there - Windows isn't even recognized!
If I can fix it from LL,I would appreciate detailed newbie instructions as to how to do it! I can't use my LL live dvd as I have a Windows repair disk (useless) stuck in the cd/dvd drive!
I've been using LL on my desktop and really, really like it but have some Windows stuff on the laptop so I need to keep Windows for now.
Hate to be a pita but have been searching for days for a solution!
