Bootcamp Missing Operating System Windows 7

I need the SP1 on Windows 7, but I get always an error when I want to install it.I read that it is because I have a dual boot Windows 7 + Ubuntu. And after installing Ubuntu, GRUB2 overwrote the Windows 7 mbr or something like that.So I wanted to fix it. I read that you should boot Windows 7 with a DVD, then click on Windows repair and then in the cmd write the command 'bootrec.exe /fixmbr' to recover the Windows mbr and delete GRUB2. But after restarting my PC - no GRUB2, but also 'missing operating systrem'.So what should I do? I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!

The MBR (output from fdisk) says the DATA partition is set as the boot partition.Which Windows partition has the boot files (DATA or BOOTCAMP)?Which Windows partition has the Windows folder?Which boot files are on the partitions?(C:bootmgr and C:BootBCD for new Windows Vista or Windows 7)(C:ntldr and C:boot.ini for Windows XP)Use the following commands to list the files. Code:ls -l /Volumes/DATA/ /Volume/DATA/Boot/ls -l /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/ /Volume/BOOTCAMP/Boot/If DATA contains the boot files, but Windows is on the BOOTCAMP partition, then you need to make sure that both partitions are selected in Virtual Machine - Configure. Hardware - Hard Disk 1 - Edit Partitions - select each partition that you want to be visible in the VM - OK.It might be better to move the boot files to the same disk containing Windows (if they're not already there). Use to do that.

The Windows XP boot files are on the partition named DATA.The WINDOWS folder (that contains Windows XP) is on the partition named BOOTCAMP.You need to do one of the following (A or B) to boot your BOOTCAMP partition in Parallels:A) Make sure the virtual hard disk includes both partitions. Go to Virtual Machine - Configure. Hardware - Hard Disk 1 - Edit Partitions, then make sure both partition 3 and 4 are selected.B) Make BOOTCAMP bootable. Copy the boot files (ntldr, NTDETECT.COM, and boot.ini) from the DATA partition to the BOOTCAMP partition.

Make sure boot.ini points to partition 4 (use a text editor). Then use fdisk to set partition 4 in the MBR as the bootable partition. Code:sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0To use fdisk, type '?' For help, 'p' to display the partitions, 'f 4' to flag partition 4 as the boot partition, 'p' to display your changes, 'q' to save your changes and quit. If you don't want to save changes, type 'exit' instead. After making changes to the MBR, you may need to remove the Hard Disk 1 from your Parallels virtual machine, and then add the hard disk again so that Parallels will see the change.

You will only need to include partition 4 to boot Parallels. You may want to include partition 3 still so that you can see it in the Parallels virtual machine.
