I recently re-formatted my laptop with Win7 Pro (official commercial version from MSDNAA, not the RC), and installed Mint7 using mint4win.

When prompted to reboot I did, and no bootloader appeared.

I previously had a Vista/Ubuntu dual boot going until the Win7 install restored the MBR.

Anyone know how I can get at this and solve it? It's quite annoying, as I need Mint to connect to wireless on my campus. Interestingly, Win7 won't connect due to network security, but all linux distros can connect easily with a little elbow grease.

Try the standard version of linux mint 7 it is a live and install cd

I didn't want to do a full install and further partition my hard drive (The ubuntu partition still shows up under Disk Managment, oddly), but it looks like i'll have to.

OK but mint4win can it run without windows.
If Ubuntu is still there you can restore GRUB using a rescue CD or maybe there is a repair option on the UBUNTU CD

It's not there anymore, I formatted the partition.

Actually, i'm going to close the thread as I just reinstalled Ubuntu in it's old partition. Basically, as long as I have a form of linux i'm good. I tried mint because I was tired of Ubuntu, but now I see that it didn't really matter that much.
