How do I remove ubuntu from a windows 7 machine without the recovery disk?
I have a problem. I want my Windows 7 back. I installed ubuntu from a USB flash-drive. And it's dualbooting with Windows 7.
I don't know how to delete Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from my computer for free?
Please help me......
You need: A Windows Installation or
Recovery Medium
This restores the MasterBootRecord.
Grub will be gone (or at least not useable anymore) only Windows boots up.
- boot from that Windows Disk
- select "Repair my Computer"
- select your Windows Installation
- select "Command Prompt"
- now execute following command each at a time:
bootrec.exe
/FixBoot
bootrec.exe
/FixMbr
- reboot
To remove ubuntu (this steps may be
a bit fuzzy, since I do not have win7 machine right in front of me right now):
- Boot to Windows
- click "start" and search for "Disk Management"
- start Disk Management
- now you should see an overview of your Harddrives and partitions.
- determine the ubuntu partitions (usually, the ones with "unknown" file system)
- delete those partitions
- finally append the freed disk space to a windows partition (if wished)
you should be good now.
Good Luck.
