I'm a dummy and activated the wrong partition after I cleared the partition with Lunix mint. (Had duel boot with Mint and windows 7)
I can't get into BIOS(before this happened I realized fast boot is more than likely available, it totally skips the black screen with the option to enter BIOS), and I also don't get a boot from CD option either, so my windows disk seems to be out of the question.
It goes directly to "Error: No such partition grub rescue"

Ideas?
Note I'm new to this issue so give me the step by step the best you can.

What has Happened:
GRUB points to your Linux mint boot partition. Since you have deleted this partition there is no [easy] way to boot into your other operating systems.

To fix:
1)You must be able to boot from a Windows CD and use the Fix Boot problems tool, or use the fixmbr command.

Your computer is not *skipping* the delay is just set to zero. You can likely get into BIOS options by repeatedly pressing the BIOS button (what ever it is for your computer) immediately after boot.
