    Hey, guys I have no luck googling.. everything I found is problem related not guides.. I hope someone can guide me with what to do in dual-booting Windows 7(already installed) with Linux Mint 8. I have already dual-booted Ubuntu 9.10 with Win 7 before.. had that Boot problem when deleting the partition LoL.. So hoping someone can show me some simple guide of installation and removal :)

    here's a guide for ya..
    as far as when you uninstall the linux partition..just pop in your windows 7 disk..go to repair my computer and then to the command prompt and type bootrec/fixmbr..that should fix up your bootloader..always works for me..but i dual boot vista...it should work for windows 7..or click repair and then click startup repair..it should fix it automatically..hope this helps
