Okay as stated in the title I had to use a recovery.iso via usb to get windows to boot.. here's what happened
I tried using windows disk management to shrink the windows partition to setup dual boot with Ubuntu 12.10, well that didn't turn out so well, it told me I could not shrink the partition because there was disc errors and it told me to run a chkdsk, so I did so and when it tried to boot after completing it rebooted again and ran the chkdsk again then it turned off and I couldn't get past the Samsung splash screen
so I hopped on my hp envy and found a system recovery iso and did a factory reset and now when I go to the windows 7 style desktop it says my windows license is expired
what can I do to fix this?
thank you
