  If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. Status: 0xc0000225 Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.Correct the problem using the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) by booting from your Windows 7 installation media.The repair option identified the boot sector issue and correct it by deleting the invalid location replacing it with a valid MBR.After reboot Windows 7 automatically performs a chkdsk repair.Problem Resolved: Use the Windows 7 Recovery Disc.== Shrink or Resize the Windows 7 Partition ==The safest and simplest way to partition your drive is to use the Windows 7 "Disk Management" program, to shrink your existing windows partition. To access this program, click the Windows icon in the bottom left and in the text box which says "Search programs and files," type in "Disk Management" in this box, and press enter.Windows 7 puts two partitions on your hard drive: one, about 100 MB in size, holding system restoration data and the primary windows installation partition.== How to Dual-boot Linux and Windows (on a PC with Windows 7 already installed) ==Choose a Linux distribution.  For example, Ubuntu.  Boot the PC from the Linux installation media, such as a DVD or USB Flash Drive.Be sure that when it asks you where you want to install Ubuntu, you select the option to install side-by-side with your other OS, using the free space available.  When it's down, shutdown your computer and remove the installation media. When you boot back up, you should have a choice between Ubuntu Linux or Windows.During installation of Linux we will not be creating a separate swap partition.  == References ==== Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) ==* [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/start-your-computer-from-a-windows-7-installation-disc-or-usb-flash-drive Start your computer from a Windows 7 installation disc or USB flash drive]* [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927392 Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues]* [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261173&page=4 Ubuntu Forums: [SOLVED] Windows7 not booting after GParted resize]
