New mobo, windows wont boot !

[bigalos]

Hi all !
I just upgraded my motherboard n after successfully installing it i found out that windows wont boot due to the wrong drivers ! I cant even run it in safe mode !! .. I have another partition running Linux mint, its working fine, n i can access the system32 directory of windows 7 (from/via linux file explorer) ... So my question is: Can i delete drivers manually through linux knowing that i dont have any other alternatives (no usb keys, no cd/dvd drive...). Thank u in advance.

backup your windows 7 data, and reinstall the os

Isn't there a workaround ? If only i could find the drivers in system32 n delete them manually maybe just maybe windows will boot, then i can install the new drivers ! Anyone else who can contribute it would much appriciated. Tnx

New motherboard and no boot is often the result.

Reinstall the OS with the new hardware.

Tricky situation.
Generally, you install Windows first, then Linux.

You'll almost certainly have to edit the GRUB data.
