    Okay thanks. I'll have to find my windows DVD for that... I'll get it for tomorrow evening and try that then. I'm in bed at the minute and frankly, it can wait...

    Ah sorry minotar, I must have read your post too quickly and missed the part about repair console, my bad.

    I wonder could either of you help with my other problem?

    With the addition of the other problem, I am wondering if you might need a Repair Install.

    Is the ghost listing carried over since before you installed or reinstalled? If not, REpair install reconfigures the boot so might lose the ghost.

    No problem,i probably wasnt clear:)

    I agree with Greg for the windows search feature,it will reinstall the default OS programs while leaving your data alone.

    When I had XP, Ubuntu still showed. Then I did a clean install of Seven, and it carred through with a previous version of windows entry AND the ubuntu entry. EasyBCD listed the previous version and so I was able to remove it... And I think that answers your question :S
    Will a repair install then fix my windows features issue?

    Very possible on indexing, not so much Ubuntu listing if it survived 7 clean install.

    I read some on GRUB because of the avalanche of dual boot probs we have here.

    Everything I read says you must deep format over GRUB to get it out before Installing Win7 then reinstall it if you need it to manage Ubuntu-7 dual boot.

    This is the only sure fix I know.

    That said, there are some GRUB experts around here who may catch your post title.
