    Removing dual boot options


    I moved to Windows 7 from Vista. I had dual boot to Ubuntu but ended up removing the OS and i still get the option to choose this when it is not installed. How do I get this option removed?

    Try Start Menu > Msconfig
    (Type in 'msconfig' in the search box, without the quotes)
    Have a look in the boot area.
    But this is a really sensitive part of the OS. Be very careful what you do there.

    You can also use a free utility called "EasyBCD" to edit the choices and text.

    Easiest of all is this:
    [windows key]+[Pause/break] to bring up system panel,
    then click Advanced system settings,
    Advanced Tab,
    Startup and Recovery "Settings" button.
    From here you can remove OSs and so on.

    When I use the msconfig there is only windows 7 available. The Ubuntu boot option is not there. When I try Easiest of all is this:
    [windows key]+[Pause/break] to bring up system panel,

    Startup and Recovery "Settings" button.
