After installing Linux my laptop can not initialize properly

OK so I installed Linux ubunto and I dual boot with my standard version of Win, when me and my friend tried to simply go back to Windows, we have restored to the original with the backup disc only problem is that now the program (GRUB) that loads when you choose your operating system is still on the computer.

It gives me an error message 22 every time... I was told that I have to reset the master boot record or something like that, but I don't know how if someone could please help me?

Which would be greatly appreciated!

Your MBR (Master Boot Record) contains the GRUB loader. You must recover its original content.

For win95/98/me, you are using 'fdisk /mbr' with a boot disk.
With win2000/xp you start the recovery by using the installation CD console and type fixmbr

    Method 4: Use the Recovery Console

    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Hello

    There is no Net download that is not for the most hacked and / or infected with Malware

    Save your data and do a clean install of XP.

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm

    If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Sony and ask them to send you a XP disc.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    Linux installation could destroy this XP Reinstall option:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    It may be Ctrl + F11, F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    See you soon.

  • My laptop can not find wireless networks

    My laptop can not find wireless connections, that it works fine when I use an Ethernet cable.

    It works on 64-bit windows and has a intel wifi link 1000 series

    The most likely reason is that the wireless card is turned off or disabled.  Most laptops have this feature in order to save battery power if the wifi is not necessary.  Depending on your laptop, it is a physical switch or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  See your User Guide for more information.

    You can also check the Device Manager (click the ORB start and type Device Manager and then press the Enter key).  Expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the arrow to the left and then double-click the entry for the Intel Wifi Link.  Check 'Device status' in the 'General tab '.
