Solved Restoring MBR

[jyobo]

I installed Ubuntu to get Windows working on my PC and now am looking to uninstall it. I've tried:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
It gives me the success message but nothing changes and it still boots GRUB.
I've looked at the tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html although I'm using a USB boot and that doesn't show up. Are there any other methods I can try before going for the whole clean install?


EDIT: I got lazy/impatient and just clean installed. Thanks for the help though, I've learned some stuff.

Welcome to the forum. First thing has the pc got a mbr? there are some detail here and a tool to do it for you simply assuming the disk is mbr type

I'm not sure what you mean. It's a new build and I initially installed windows which worked, however I couldn't get USB drives working. So I installed Ubuntu to transfer drivers those and get them working.

Why didnt you use a linux live cd? Can you load windows and get to disk manager and post a screen shot to see if it gpt or mbr What?s the Difference Between GPT and MBR When Partitioning a Drive?

I dont have disk drive so it's all via USB. I says its GPT.

If its uefi disk you can repair it Repair a destroyed Windows 7 UEFI boot sector | Hasper.info but you need to know for sure what the disk type is

Yeah GPT. So just to clarify, when I start up I get GRUB which allows me to choose Linux or Windows to boot. I want to try and and stop this and just have windows boot automatically so I can then remove the linux partitions. Do I go through those instructions on that link then?

 

[samuria]

can you post a full diskmanager screenshot showing all partitions

Here it is.
