dual boot - How to get rid of 'grub rescue'?




While logged into Windows, I deleted a disk partition which was containing Ubuntu. When I restarted my pc, it is showing 'grub rescue' command prompt.




How to boot windows now?




  1. I no longer require Ubuntu.

  2. I have Ubuntu live CD



When I tried the following commend:



sudo apt-get install lilo



the following error is shown:



Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main lilo i386 1:22.8-10ubuntu1
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.156 80]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Run Boot-Repair from a liveCD, click "Advanced options", tick "Restore MBR", click "Apply".
