I authorize. 5- Ubuntu worked very bad too, so came back on W7, deleted the iso, and I deleted the partitions one the twice disk... 6- when I rebooted my computer, I could read on a black screen: Error:no such device blablanumberofthedev Error:unknown filesystem Entering rescue mode... Grub rescue > Please, my computer can't swim, could you Help it? Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

Sounds like you installed the grub boot loader, then deleted your system, so it has no idea of where to go, & is now asking you.
If you install another Linux system into the partitions that were being used, & install grub again, you should be able to boot into either system. Else, you will need to 'repair' your MS Windows system. |
when installing Linux and in the disros installer, make sure you find that where to install grub(bootloader) part and make sure it is pointing to the boot drive before clicking install.
if you are reinstalling a system over top of one that is there, make sure you tell the installer to format that partition before installing that current system. |
I don't get the deleted iso part. Are you booting to an iso or making a dvd?
Burn a dvd of one of these live linux distros maybe and see what you have on your disk. If windows is still intact, make backup or save important data. Use windows maybe to fix boot issue. I agree that maybe grub is on instead of windows loader. If you do get windows back and you want to keep it consider a free virtual machine over dual boot maybe. Linux installers often keep one from installing linux over linux and sometimes puts the new distro on your windows spaces. |
Thanks a lot for all your purpose, your attempt to help me.
Unfortunately my W7 is dead. So I download W10 and yesterday I installed Linux Mint... Dual boot mode... Amazing. The system looks like run correctly... Take care and thank you. |
You installed a boot loader (together with ubuntu) that caused some issues. Your windows was OK (most probably). But it is now over.
Please mark the thread solved if your problem solved. |
