I have the very same problem and I really used your info. Unfortunately, at the very last step, the "Admin Tool USB"-formatted USB key doesn't boot. It's the same I used - and then re-formatted - with System Rescue, and it worked like a charm. So I'm stuck with it until I'll find the time to retry with a different USB key. I can only hope that does the trick. Thanks again. Very useful post. I have the very same problem and I really used your info.

Un-installing in Windows should only effect the Windows application - I can't see your partition table and it might be a slightly different configuration for Windows 7. Have you made sure that only one partition is bootable? Have you tried other partitions? You’d need to ask Samsung as to what that error message means.

Thank you for the reply. I tried using the Live Ubuntu CD and typed the command in the terminal as you said. My samsung recovery partition was sda3. The windows system partition of 100mb was first(sda1) and the windows partition was sda2. Then came the hidden recovery partition. As u said i typed a then enter and entered the partition number 3. After that i pressed w and saved. Then i rebooted my laptop after removing the live ubuntu cd. But windows booted up instead of the recovery partition. Can u tell me what went wrong with it? Also my samsung recovery solution is uninstalled in windows 7 and i tried to re-install it but i am coming up with an error saying "Y parameter is not an integer value" and the installation is getting failed. Hii..

Just load it up and open a terminal, then <code>sudo fdisk /dev/sda</code>. Type p then press enter, you'll see a list of drive partitions - one will have an asterisk in the "Boot" column. You type a then enter and enter a partition number to boot from that partition. Samsung recovery is usually the first but you might need to try others. The MBR that you installed using fixmbr just boots whatever partition has the bootable flag set, so you're changing that to the Samsung Recovery Partition.

I just used chmod in-and-out and changed with VI editor, no problem. On the scale of annoyances known to Man, Ubuntu's sudo is on par with diarrhea. There’s an extra ALL in the line.
