Removing ubuntu from Boot Order Windows 7

Yelnats · 07-18-2009, 10:51 AM

Hey guys! I recently uninstalled Ubuntu (installed to Windows) but its still on the boot order. The boot order is however NOT GRUB so I am wondering how to remove it. Thanks!

Hi,

There is a file that lists the boot information, but I can't remember where it is. I am going to through this over to the windows folks as they will know what file I am talking about and know where it is.

Cheers!

Type msconfig in search area of start menu, then select from above. On boot tab selcet the operating system and click delete.

Windows 7 is the only thing that appears.

At an administrative command prompt type:

BCDEDIT

This will show you the operating systems that are configured in the bcd (boot configuration data). The bcd is used by the boot manager to display the boot entries you see on the screen when booting.

The easiest ay to delete an entry is to use Easybcd from here: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1.

The bcdedit command can delete it but it is much more complicated and to be used only as a last resort.
