    Remove Grub - Restore Windows 7 You are dual booting with a Linux OS, using the Grub bootloader

    menu, and now you want to remove Linux and Grub and restore your Windows 7 boot manager. Here's how: This screen shot shows Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and my Ubuntu 9.10 installed on logical partitions (volumes) in an extended partition. The two partitions on the end are for Ubuntu and its swap partition. Windows does not recognize the file system used by Ubuntu, so you see no data.

    This is the same hard drive viewed from Ubuntu using GParted. Ubuntu does recognize the Windows NTFS file system and correctly labels the partitions. Again for verification, the last two partitions (volumes) are for Ubuntu and its swap partition.

    From Windows 7 Disk Management, remove (delete) the last two partitions or, if your installation is different, the Ubuntu partitions. Boot to your Windows 7 install DVD (or the System Repair CD) and navigate to the Command Prompt option.

    Type: diskpart and press enter. Type: select disk 0 (zero) and press enter Type: list volume and press enter and identify the drive letter of your CD/DVD drive. Code:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7100] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. X:\Windows\system32> diskpart Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7100 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation.

    Info ------

    System Boot

    Type: exit to close Diskpart. Using the drive letter you identified, type: D: and press enter. Type: cd \boot and enter Type: bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr and press enter

    This command should find the "Active" partition with the System files and boot code and restore your Windows 7 Boot Manager. Type: exit to close the Command Prompt then restart.

    If Windows 7 is the only OS, you should boot directly to it and not see any Boot Menu.
