I always take out the battery because of the possibility of Windows updates orphans, pipe overruns and underruns, kernel panic, etc.. Allows one to cleanly pull the plug. I wasn't sure of your situation at the time but I was going to say go ahead and try the Windows repair disk next. Linux boot problems are never difficult to solve, but Windows because of its business relationships with OEMs is more difficult. The most common mistake new users make with dual booting is removing Windows recovery and OEM utility partitions. Glad you solved it before it got worse. Enjoy your LL. If you are adept with Windows easy bcd is unnecessary. You can do all the same things from the power shell these days. Something worth reading up on if you think you are going to move up to a Windows 10 box at some point... it's annoying... but sometimes necessary for people/businesses to keep Windows. A lot of small businesses still dual boot these days, often Windows 7 because they have a bought and paid for whole office suite and a crap database setup. Can't save macros etc.
