MBR bootloader issue
I was trying to install Ubuntu to an external hard drive and the installer attempted to install GRUB to the MBR of the internal drive. For some reason, that didn't quite work and now I can't boot into Windows. Whenever I try to boot into anything that requires BIOS emulation (either Windows or Linux), I just get a blinking cursor. Booting from the Windows 7 DVD and choosing to repair the startup didn't fix the issue. Does anyone know any way to fix this, preferably without having to erase everything?
Here's the output from rEFIt's Partition Inspector, if that helps:
