Firstly, I have
a laptop with Windows 7 install. While doing my project, I discover that I need
to use Ubuntu to complete the project. So what I do is, I take an Ubuntu Live
CD, boot my computer using it then install Ubuntu in an empty partition.
After the
installation is complete, I reboot my computer and grub take over the boot GUI.
After I finish my project, I left the Ubuntu there and not use it any more. So every
day I open my computer, I will see the grub interface and and a thought came to
my mind. I am not anymore use the Ubuntu, so I should remove it to recover the
used space in my hd (100gb).
I know that
I can’t just remove the Ubuntu partition using disk management because if I remove
the partition, my computer won’t boot because, GRUB GUI file is located inside
the Ubuntu partition. In order to remove the partition, I need to remove GRUB
first then replace it with Windows Boot GUI.
This method
can be used for Kubuntu or other disto of Linux.
So to do that, follows the instruction below:
1.
Set your computer so that I can boot from a DVD
drive.
2.
Then boot from your Windows 7 DVD
3.
After the loading is done, select language, then
select repair option
4.
At the repair option you should choose the
command prompt.
5.
In the command prompt, use either this command :
a. bootrec /fixmbr
b. bootsect
/nt60 c: /mbr
c. bootsect
/nt60 SYS /mbr
6.
Either command should work. But for me I use the
second one.
7.
Restart your computer. It should boot without
entering GRUB again.
8.
But if it happens, repeat step 1 but use another
step 5 command.
9.
If it successfully boot without grub, now you
can remove the UBUNTU partition.
10.
That’s all.
Thanks for reading…
