Friends, After years of providing services to students for free in installing Fedora, I hit a wall this afternoon and don't quite know how to get out of it.
The offending laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6 with Windows 7 Home Premium on it. We paritioned the HDD using Windows 7 creating a separate partition and went off to install Fedora on the new partition from a Live CD. Installation went off as a breeze, however, after reboot all hell broke loose. Grub did not show up, what is worse is that a broken Windows Error Recovery did with the Launch Startup Repair, etc. However, it asks for the original installation disc for Windows 7 which the retailer never provided. I tried using PW o fix the MBR as mentioned here: http://www.sevenforums.com/software/135486-how-do-i-repair-mbr-without-disk.html but no luck: it goes back to this screen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? I feel embarrassed and responsible for this student's fancy laptop now. He needs to have W7 to use the BluRay so we were thinking of a dual boot originally, but at this point, I am trying to salvage whatever.
