Windows won't boot - Laptop always boot to Clonezilla live

[julyzerg]

I downloaded and burned (save .iso file) Clonezilla to an usb using Tuxboot.

After that I restart my laptop and now my laptop always boot to clonezilla live (not windows 7). I've already removed all usb, external devices... from the laptop but it still boot to Clonezilla live.

What happened and How do I fix this and boot to windows 7?

If after you removed the usb drives and such and you still boot to clonezilla live... You probably installed it overtop of your windows instilation and may need to reinstall windows.

When powering up enter bios and check boot settings.

The only thing I saved on local hard drive is the .iso file.
I don't think I "installed" anything.
The USB works well on other machine.

BIOS is still the same, boot from hard drive first.

Any thoughts?

Hmm. When you power up try pressing the f8 key. If you were booting from windows this should show you your boot options, obviously clonezilla is not windows but..

You are denying the fact in front of you, you installed over your OS.

I am pretty sure I did not INSTALLED anything on/over my Windows, I only save the .iso Clonezilla to local harddrive and then the Tuxboot software installed/unzipped it to the USB, but I think the Tuxboot somehow unzip the .iso into my Windows (if this is the case, this program has made me really confused to make the mistake lol)

But anyway I fixed the problem and I am able to boot to my windows 7 now.
I basically follow this instruction after googled: "repair windows 7 boot" => http://www.tomshardware.com/news/win7-windows-7-mbr,10036.html the command "bootrec.exe /FixBoot" works for me.

So I check my local hard C drive (I only have one drive) and I see somehow the .iso file has been unzipped into the C drive, so all of the files/folders you see on the USB when you create Clonezilla USB boot are also presenting in the C drive now.

I'll go ahead and remove all of them.

Thanks guy for your supports.
