I needed to uninstall LXLE (a Linux distro) on my laptop and use just Windows 7 instead. I read somewhere that going into the root terminal and typing sudo apt-cache show lxde and then deleting the files shown would uninstall LXLE, so I did that and rebooted. But now whenever I try to boot, I get the following error upon startup: file /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found.

Now I need to know how I can get my computer to just launch Windows instead when I boot. Typing into the grub rescue> (whatever that is...) does nothing. Please use layman's terms, I have no experience with this kind of stuff and won't understand a bunch of technical jargon.

Boot to a Windows recovery disk (any recovery/installation disk or USB, including the free Windows 10 Technical Preview one will do).

Instead of using "Install Now", use "Repair your computer". Then go to Troubleshoot>Command prompt. Type:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Your computer should now be fixed.
