    how to remove grub.. to have windows 7 alone


    Hi,

    I installed ubuntu 9.10 (i think I also installed latest grub or something).. and tried it a bit.. and decided to remove it.

    I cleaned up the partitions which ubuntu were installed. I followed an instruction from youtube to recover widnows boot..

    but it won't work. (Youtube instruction was for vista).. .

    I did
    1. boot with cd

    2. ran bottrec.exe /FixMbr at command prompt

    I also tried... to let windows 7 fix the problem..

    but I still have grub and windows 7 won't boot

    Can you help me plz?

    Hello,

    Try running Startup Repair. Sometimes it needs to be run as many as 3 times.

    Hope this helps,

    You may need to format the HD to get rid of GRUB.

    Once you get started up using Win7 DVD Startup Repair, post back a copy of the listings found by EasyBCD, and your full Disk Management drive map.

    use the snipping tool found in Start menu, attach files using paper clip in reply box.
