Ubuntu uninstall boot manager issue
OK guys so i have installed Ubuntu from the desktop windows installer from the Ubuntu website and i wanted to try it out so i let it do its thing. Then i rebooted tried to run Ubuntu well Ubuntu wouldn't load. It was just a black screen and eventually gave some crap about i cant remember what.
So then i went into windows and uninstalled it from the programs menu and it uninstalled and there are no partitions or nothing on my pc for Ubuntu (as far as iv seen, Iv done some looking) but the boot manager still gives me the option to select between windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Even though Ubuntu is gone and wont load if i select it it still gives me the option to use it. Now i have found something about running cmd as admin and then using bcdedit.exe i have tried it. bcdedit.exe shows me the os's on the system and heres what i found.
So then i found out that in the CMD you use the command bcdedit.exe/delete {1d17a6a4-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} (that's what i would use in my case) so that's what i was supposed to do from what i read online. But then i get thisCode:C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit.exe Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1 description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {current} resumeobject {1d17a6a0-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} displayorder {current} {1d17a6a4-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 10 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {current} device partition=C: path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 7 locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {1d17a6a2-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} recoveryenabled Yes osdevice partition=C: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {1d17a6a0-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} nx OptIn Real-mode Boot Sector --------------------- identifier {1d17a6a4-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} device partition=C: path \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr description Ubuntu
(i tried twice) so how do i remove Ubuntu from the boot manager so that the boot manager stops loading up and giving me the option to load Ubuntu?Code:C:\Windows\system32>/bcdedit.exe/delete{1d17a6a4-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} The system cannot find the path specified. C:\Windows\system32>/bcdedit.exe/delete {1d17a6a4-ac72-11e1-986a-fcb40a7a1036} The system cannot find the path specified.
