View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 OEM version. Recently my friend installed Ubuntu to work on it. After some time I removed Ubuntu through Add Remove programs but whenever I start my computer at the time of booting, it asks me to choose out of 3 entries :-- Windows 7, Ubuntu, Ubuntu.
Now, I wish to remove these 2 Ubuntu entries and I understand I have to remove some multi disk partition entries for Ubuntu, in bootmgr.dll... right??
How can I remove these two Ubuntu entries??
PS: This is for the moderators--I hope this doesn't come under "black-listed issues". According to my understanding, a simple meddling with bootmgr.dll such as the above doesn't qualify to come under "hacking"..or any other black list issues...
how can i remove ubuntu 8.10 from my lap even i use windows 7?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe first time...well, was a failure on my part. Got the error screen upon reboot because the MBR was still looking for Ubuntu when it wasn't there. The second time I ran EasyBCD and it said Windows 7 was my only entry in the bootloader. Then I deleted my Ubuntu partition and when rebooting, I got the same GRUB error screen. I have a netbook so I don't have a Windows disk. I do have a USB drive if that helps.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter I tried to make a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Windows now does not boot. I have tried to reinstall and repair the HDD but the disc fails to recognize my HDD (Western Digital Scorpio Black 500 GB). My HDD is Basic, has 3 primary partitions and 1 extended (3 logical). Ubuntu 11.10 can boot fine.

I have Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installed as a dual boot, different partitions single HDD.
I want to remove the Windows 7 partition and keep the Win 2008. I do NOT want to lose anything from the Win 2008 partition. Taken from Disk Management.
Disk 3 with 5 partitions
1st - Healthy, Primary partition 73MB. (I thought this was system reserve but its not, leftover space from a previous partition change). It's currently mounted and completely empty.
2nd - Unallocated space 500mb
3rd - Windows 7 OS (Healthy - system, active, primary partition)
4th - Windows 2008 Server OS (Healthy - boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition)
5th - Unallocated space 8mb'ish
I haven't been using Windows 7 for years and want to clean this drives partitions up because it's messy and wasting space. I just need windows server 2008 as it's been used as a server for years and that's all I need it for now.
I want to safely remove the windows 7 installation and merge that partition along with the 1st and unallocated spaces back into a single partition where windows 2008 server resides.
Now I've tried tackling this myself and failed. I stupidly made the windows server 2008 partition as active which killed my boot and took me forever to repair with zero loss fortunately. Sadly it was as simple as using diskpart in a command prompt from win 2008 boot disk to make win 7 partition active again.
So, how do I do this? The boot manager must be on the win 7 partition as removing active killed it. The windows 7 boot (during startup) is long removed, system boots directly to windows 2008.
how to install Win 7 over ubuntu 10.10? I have tried booting from the disc (has a trial on it) but it says something like one of the drives are missing i.e. a usb or disc or something.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a new rig and I cannot install either my OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 or Ubuntu 10.10 x64.
When I try and install Windows, the installation goes through and then - just before it says 'Complete' - it says something along the lines of "Failed to make bootable" and then says press any key to restart.
When I try to install Ubuntu, I cannot select my preferred partition. And when I go into [Specify partitions manually] and select one, it says 'No root file system is defined. correct this from the partitioning menu.' And nothing I do can change this.
I'm a bit bored with Vista and want to install 7. Can I do this whilst keeping Vista and Ubuntu installed in case something goes wrong with the installation. At the moment Vista and Ubuntu share my hard drive and I simply chose which OS to boot on start up.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had WinXP on an older drive, then I upgraded to Vista 64bit, then the disk crashed. Got a new hard drive and installed just Ubuntu 11.04 on it. Then I missed Windows and decided to get a Windows 7 Upgrade. I thought that since I had the XP product key/sticker (on my Thinkpad T400) AND my Vista 64bit Upgrade (with product key) AND my new Windows 7, I'd be set and legal.
First, the Windows 7 upgrade DVD didn't like seeing the Ubuntu partition and didn't want to install. I popped out the drive, put it in a external caddy and had my other XP machine format it as NTFS. Good. Reinstalled HD and put in the Windows 7 64b DVD and installed Windows 7. Everything went fine untill the Product Key . . . which it would not accept! This is a legit copy I just bought at WalMart, but it wouldn't accept the key! I finally clicked on "Skip" . . . and it went on installing, upgrading and appears to be working fine! What gives? It didn't ask me for my old Vista copy or key, it simply went on and seems to be working fine. I'm using it right now. (Having trouble getting it to see my external monitor, but that's another thread. . .)
I have Windows 7x64 installed on my Lenovo G580 right now. I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop. I made a bootable USB using unetbootin and tried to install Ubuntu. It installed correctly( I formatted a partition which i made specifically for ubuntu with 10GB Swap area and 20 GB for main Ubuntu installation).
After restarting i am not getting select os menu rather windows 7 starts directly
When I browse my HDD in windows 7 (My Computer-Properties-Disk Management), I'm unable to locate my hdd in which i installed Ubuntu, it just shows my other two drives thats C and D drive, the E drive which i used is not visible.
I'm trying to install windows 7 home premium upgrade on to my SSD which currently has Ubuntu running on it. I do have a a product key for windows XP When i try to select my SSD as the destination for installation, it won't let me. I think because its not the right file system(ntfs)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 running on my Asus laptop. I decided to install Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows, as I will need it for work. It was installed via side-by-side and re-sized the partition
The installation of Ubuntu was flawless and works great, but now when I boot to Windows, its will randomly freeze, sometimes in 1 minute, sometimes within 10 minutes.
The only way I can solve this issue, is to either perform a disk scan from windows or restore the MBR.
The disk scan works, and Windows run fine, although If I boot Ubuntu again, run that for awhile, then boot windows again the problem returns.
Restoring the MBR works as well, though without a dualboot, its useless I have also tried EasyBCD and replaced GRUB with Windows boot manager, though same problems.
lol tried to download and install/run ubuntu in a seperate partition following online directions but when rebooting and choosing ubuntu instead of win 7 just get error msgs. can run it off a cd while using Windows 7 but of course one cannot save anything or make changes permanent. so I create a partition, install the ubuntu...then what to get it to work? btw downloaded something called wubi and that doesnt do anything either.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI should have come here first, but for several weeks, I started having serious crashing, freezing, then the dreaded BSOD on my upgraded Windows 7 PC.
Finally it wouldn't even boot back in Windows 7. I could not find my Upgrade Disk or Repair Disk at the time, but I had a Ubuntu Disk. So I foolhardy installed Ubuntu on a 2nd HDD in my system, think I would be able to fix Windows 7 later.
Now I've found the Windows 7 (upgrade) disks. But I can't repair Windows 7 nor can't figure out how to re-install, it doesn't give me that option, that I can find. I've removed the Ubuntu drive, but Grub is still installed.
I would like to do a clean install (since I have already backed up my important files using Ubuntu). Will following this: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation do the trick?
Once I get it re-installed, and if it crashes again, I'll do the memtest and other troubleshooting found here.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLong before I bought Windows 7 I was running XP on a dual boot with Ubuntu, I then removed Ubuntu from computer but was still left with the boot option which I successfully removed. I then installed Win 7 as a dual boot with XP and once I was happy with 7 decided to remove XP just leaving 7. As soon as I did so for some reason the Ubuntu option returned to my boot menu. I have tried lots to remove this option but to no avail. The option does not appear on easybcd but seems to be a remnant of XP left in the now useless boot.ini file. I am able to access the boot.ini file using "run" but when I try to edit the Ubuntu option out access is denied. I know I have to change permissions to edit this file but have no idea of it's location and a search returns no results.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 2 hard drives, the first has Win 7 RC1 and the second has XP and Vista in their own partitions. The Win 7 boot loader gives me the choice of Windows 7, Vista and XP when I boot up. The question is: If I install Ubuntu onto the second HD in a currently unoccupied partion, will GRUB (which is sure to take over the booting process, from past experience) still leave me with the 3 choices I have now (assuming I do not select the Ubuntu prompt). I wwould hate to lose the ability to get into the 3 Win systems !
