Still asks which OS to boot with ubuntu uninstalled

[sehana]

Ok so I installed ubuntu using the install/uninstall option and I liked ubuntu, but I will wait to install fully when hard drive arrives.

So I uninstalled it and restarted PC.

At Boot it still asks whether I want to install XP or Ubuntu.
How to get rid of that?

Hello Sehana,

For WUBI installs ..... You need to access the boot.ini files of windows and edit/remove ubuntu related lines.

WARNING : edit/remove JUST the UBUNTU-related lines.

From the wubiguide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide) wiki:

How do I manually uninstall Wubi?

Remove C:\ubuntu and C:\wubildr*.

In Windows XP you need to edit C:\boot.ini and delete the Ubuntu/Wubi line. For Vista, you can use EasyBCD to edit the boot menu. Alternatively you can modify the boot menu via control_panel > system > advanced > startup_and_recovery and pressing "Edit". For Windows 98 you have to edit C:\config.sys, and remove the Wubi block.

If unsure, post back for more assitance.

Regards.
