Boot problem.

Yes. I used the command prompts (bootrec /fixmbr etc.) to remove it, and restore the Windows Boot Loader. So GRUB should be completely removed.

So your boot menu looks more like this: (without the XP)

Yeah, it looks like your top picture, with Windows 7 on top, and where you have Windows XP, there is Ubuntu.

OK ... then you need to use a third party utility like theog linked to EasyBCD2 to edit the menu

or use the command prompt and bcdedit to do it manually.

Open an elvated command prompt (right click on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator") and type: bcdedit

Right click anywhere in the black part of the window, choose select all, press enter, then paste it into your next post?

Cheers!

I did what you said, and I came up with this in the command prompt.

This is the Ubuntu entry you wish to remove:

Attachment 53289

pointing to the "identifier" you would use:

According to the tutorial, this command will remove it

bcdedit /delete {4c21825f-e04b-11dd-b760-00195b61617a}
NOTE: This deletes the boot entry {4c21825f....} completely.

In your case:

bcdedit /delete {bc01d6d9-e2d7-11de-8b18-dce845b77915}

?

I put bcdedit /delete {bc01d6d9-e2d7-11de-8b18-dce845b77915} into the Command Prompt, and it says "The Operation was completed successfully."

Now try a reboot and you should not even see the boot menu, but boot directly to 7.

iseeuu, this worked! I've been trying to fix my computer for days, and now, it boots straight into my Windows 7! Thank you so much for your help! I'm definitely going to save your tutorial into my computer!

Again, thank you so much!
