Windows 7: Dual Boot problem, Ubuntu is the main boot

I cant set partition as active !!!

Then it must be a Logical partition which can't host its own boot files. Do you have a 100mb System Reserved partition as I stated it is the preferred one to mark Active?

If this doesn't help then post back a camera snap of Partition Wizard bootable CD's drive map and listings.

there u go

No grub error anymore? Delete the last 2 logical partitions and ubuntu is gone for ever.

are you sure than will harm my laptop boot?

Your C drive is ACTIVE so it boots from it and display the bootmenu. And your running OS is C as well. You don't see any grub stuff on boot? You did a startup repair to fix the grub problem? (if so it put the Windows 7 MBR on disk)

Did you replace physical disk MBR with Windows 7 MBR (instead of grub)?
Did you replace C "volume boot sector" with Windows 7 bootsector (not neccesary, can't imagine why grub would be there). Anyway replace both.

Boot into recovery environment->command prompt

Both succesfull? If so... reboot normally and delete both partitions. I'm 100% sure it will still boot
