Ok, so I am trying to get rid of the Grub loader from my laptop. I deleted my Linux partition, Grub is still there and I can't access Windows at all. I know the easiest way to fix this is by repairing my computer by using a windows recovery cd but I don't have one. Is there a way to do this...

Okay...I've seen several tutorials/info on dual booting, but usually it's only one hard drive. What I want to do is install 2 OS on 2 different HDDs. My first idea was to install Debian and Win7 on the same 500GB HDD (which is now my secondary hard drive). But since then, I had taken it to the...

Hi there I recently bought a new Gateway desktop. I added another hard drive to it and installed Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu installed the Grub bootloader to the wrong drive, the Windows 7 drive. All this happened before I made the Gateway Recovery Backup disks. I managed to fix the Windows 7 drive...

Hello there, and thank you for this platform, where we can try to resolve our problems. I installed a dual booting in my computer w/Win7 ultimate together with Ubuntu 9.10. Ubuntu went corrupt for some reason, I've been trying to fix it for the last three days but decided to give up as it has...

Hey everybody. So the full error code in blue screen after booting (after win7 loading logo) is: Had the autocheck bad boy as well: Eliminated it via registry. So, pretty much only 0xc000003a is left. Also, autocheck as I understand is just an indicator of a problem rather than a cause...

Hi I orignally had windows 7 professional 64 bit on my laptop. I had a 10 Gb partition, which i divided in SWAP and / mount to install Ubuntu Linux. My computer now loads into Grub loader. All is well, its just now i want to get rid of Linux. (I will install it on desktop and mess around with...

Hi, I installed ubuntu 9 and then removed. however grub loader still appearred during booting up. and then fail to boot of course. I use windows 7 DVD to repair the startup problem. But it says no problem found. Finally I have to use XP CD to boot to recovery console and type "fixmbr" to solve...

Hello! I installed Ubuntu, but now want repair the mbr so 7 is the only boot option. Is there a way without reinstalling the os? Thanks in advance! Oh, never mind! Easy-peasy EasyBCD!

Hi Everyone I broke my own rule and tried to upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 and whilst the upgrade seemed to go fine and my system was working ok (a part from an error I get whenever I boot up) but now after 1 automatic fix upload by Windows 7 my system takes a very long time to...

I 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 Win7, 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...

I used to have Ubuntu dual-booted with my Windows 7 and I just recently removed it because I wanted this computer to run just Windows 7 only. My only problem is that I can't run Windows 7 when I remove Ubuntu because the GRUB Loader is in the way. I know there's a fix of some sort about typing...

Ok...I initially had winxp 64 bit on one partition, I then loaded Ubuntu to see if I liked it. I didn't, so I formatted that drive but the Load always showed Ubuntu at boot time. I then installed win7 and all was fairly good. I could access either 64 bit XP or win7. Yesterday my TimeBomb said I...

Hi. I have a tri-boot system on my computer, running Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.04. I have Ubuntu's bootmgr GRUB running as the initial boot manager, and from there I can either boot into Ubuntu or Windows. The problem is, though, that Windows 7 installed its boot manager on Windows XP...

windows 7 keeps restarting when there is a hidden primary NTFS formatted partition I assume it tries to install it's bootmanager there but is then unable to finish the installation why is it that windows 7 can detect a hidden partition during installation and then decides to use it anyway even...

Hi All I recently installed Windows 7 which promptly took over the boot process and gave a rather curt name for my earlier Windows XP Pro SP3 installation as in "earlier version of Windows" or something. Then I installed Debian 5 which insisted writing GRUB to MBR and all hell broke loose...

What an adventure!! I'm posting this in the hopes of preventing someone, somewhere some grief if they use a similar approach to setting up a new HDD. I just purchased a new, larger (Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm HDD,320 GB) to replace the 200 GB Momentus 7200 rpm drive I've been using for awhile...

(Note: Linux knowledge not necessary, but possibly helpful.) I just installed Windows 7. I keep my laptop with several partitions, because I like to experiment with different operating systems. I had one partition in use (Linux), and several open. Partition 2 was already NTFS, Partition 3 was...

I am in the market for some advice. I am considering updating my Vista SP1 to Windows 7 RC. My machine is a dual boot and I also have Linux Mint (ubuntu) installed. When it boots, the grub boot loader comes up first and I have to choose Vista from a list to boot it. Now, if I upgrade...

Ok, im not sure if this is in the right forum, it covers topics of 7 and other operating systems so I'm hoping someone can help me. I wont explain why I want to do this, but for the general purpose, its for security reasons. I have a triple-booted computer. Meaning, I have Windows XP, Windows...
