PC crashed and refused to boot up.

Today while downloading some Podcasts, I figured out that my harddisk was running really low. I tried to investigate where my harddisk was being used and I noticed that I had allocated a little too much for my linux Partitions even when I hardly use my linux partition these days. So I decided to get rid of it , and without thinking it through I formatted my linux partition from Windows.

BAM !! I blowed my Grub settings and thus my PC refused to boot up in Windows any more. I just got the GRUB minimal prompt with no way to boot up in windows.

After some research on Internet, browsing through some forums, I figured out a way to atleast get from grub to Windows. I used following commands to atleast boot in windows ::

1) rootnoverify (hd0,1)

2) chainloader –force +1

3) makeactive

4) boot.

But then whenever I restarted my PC , I would still end up with GRUB prompt and I had to manually enter these commands to get my windows working.

However for some reason now my Windows refused to boot up saying skipping AutoCheck and crashing to Blue screen of Death.

Still trying to figure out a way to recover this
