Hello,

I've had a windows + linux ubuntu 11.04 dual boot sony vaio laptop.
Everything was working fine until one day my windows 7
got a virus so I could only boot into Linux. The virus was
damaging my hard drive so I did not keep booting into
windows 7 any longer. One day I decided to reinstall
windows 7 from the hard disk windows 7 reinstallation
that came with the laptop (unfortunately I was not wise
enough to burn a windows 7 reinstallation cd before I got
the virus).
