Fix windows's MBR without installation Disk using linux!!!

By

Assalamualaykum,
When I was trying out new ubuntu 12.04. The installation progress went wrong and then freeze. After a couple of minutes the progress still the same.

Before installing 12.04, my system was running ubuntu 11.04 dualboot (windows 7).
Within my experience, when the installation of linux went wrong, the next step is recovering windows MBR using installation disk. But alas, my DVD-RW was busted long time ago and I haven't fix it or intent to fix it. The only thing I have is Ubuntu USB Thumbdrive.

After googling awhile I found out to recover windows MBR using Ubuntu thumbdrive.

First, make sure syslinux packages are installed or update to the latest version using this command

$ sudo apt-get install syslinux

When syslinux packages installed, enter this command to write windows MBR image into the harddrive's boot sector(/dev/sda)

$ sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda

Next thing to do is restart your PC using unity or using this command

$ sudo init 6

Done, now you have your windows up and running again.

Wasalamualaykum....

But, which such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go. Back to the late  1943 where  computers were gigantic, filling rooms and requiring constant care and maintenance. Over time, the components required to build the computers become smaller and cheaper, till eventually it was possible to put one on your desk until the laptop computer, a smaller, more portable, but just as powerful machine was made and make it nearly obsolete. And then, com...
