Hi ,

I have a problem with backbox, i installed backbox and now i cant boot win7 anymore... on startup i try f8 but it still boots backbox without giving me an option of boot .

my fdisk -l output:

If all else fails google "Rescatux" which is a linux rescue cd and it works w/out any issue at all - I have used it many times. I think that it can reinstall GRUB2 for you -

sudo grub-setup /dev/sdx
BTW: Delete windows7:D
You should not normally run this program directly.  Use grub-install instead.
you can see that by:
grub-setup --help
