I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot with my Windows 7 PC and then later removed Ubuntu (by deleting the partition and also by clicking 'Uninstall Ubuntu' in the Windows 7 control panel).

However when the PC boots up, it gives the option for Ubuntu, even though it should be removed. I want my PC to be a single Windows 7 boot again with no trace of Ubuntu and that automatically boots up to Windows 7 and would greatly appreciated someone who knows what they're doing's help with this please.

Thank you in advance,

David

  • @qbi a wubi install uses the windows bootloader. So, IMO, this is not a duplicate of the link you gave.

In Windows XP you need to edit C:\boot.ini and delete the Ubuntu/Wubi line.

Alternatively you can modify the boot menu via Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery and pressing "Edit".

For Windows 98 you have to edit C:\config.sys and remove the Wubi block.

For Windows Vista/7, you can use the built-in bcdedit command or install EasyBCD to edit the boot menu. To use bcdedit, run cmd.exe as an administrator, then enter bcdedit to show all boot entries, note the {GUID} specified for the Ubuntu entry, and then remove it: bcdedit /delete {GUID}

You can just press "start", then in the run box type "msconfig" then under the "boot" tab, delete Ubuntu. Much easier that way :)

    I am not familiar with windows, for what version(s) does that command msconfig work? Perhaps update the wubi FAQ page (it is a wiki and community maintained).
