Asked by sword

OS: windows 7 ultimate. Running on a intel dual core @2ghz, 1 gb ram. I accidentally installed linux on drive c, the same drive as my windows 7 ultimate is. I installed linux via linux desktop installer which will reboot at the end of the installation. When it reboot, " SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H. Peter Anvin et al
Error : No configuration file found
No Default or UI configuration directive found
boot:
I tried installing an bootable usb from another computer, but when i plug in it into the computer, it says remove disks or other media
Press any key to restart.
Please help me as the other solution i found is when the user installed the linux on a usb/cd..

Have you installed Ubuntu or not ? And how you installed it ? You used a file like wubi.exe (installation from within Windows)
OR
you booted from a Live CD/DVD/USB and installed Ubuntu regularly ?

If you installed Ubuntu and you cannot access the grub bootloader menu , try to use this automate program
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair#A2nd_option_:_install_Boot-Repair_in_Ubuntu

Read the instructions and follow the second method.

Thanks

If you use liveCD / USB, you can chroot to the installed OS and reinstate Grub
