886149 2010-05-19 06:03:00 I just installed ubuntu. It worked. Then i just deleted an empty partition. I turn it back on and it says grub loading please wait... Error 17

I cant boot into anything... The 7 recovery doesnt work either. (bootrec.exe)

886152 2010-05-19 11:16:00 For later reference, when you deleted a partition you inadvertently caused the problem.
With it gone, GRUB2 could no longer find the correct partition to mount to boot Linux.
If you had updated GRUB2 while Ubuntu was still running, you would have avoided this.
