Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone can help me out with uninstalling ubuntu from windows.
I have a new laptop with 140G HD with Windows XP preinstalled. Then I installed Ubuntu within Windows. (I installed ubuntu through cd drive while I was in windows. ) During installation, I can only specify a 30G space for Ubuntu. Then I found that in that way Ubuntu is actually installed within Windows. It doesn't create a new patition for it. Later on I decided to remove it and create a new partition 70G for Ubuntu. I used "Add or Remove Programes" in "Control Panel" and successfuly deleted Ubuntu. But when I reboot my computer, it still asks me to choose which OS to boot between windows and ubuntu, even Ubuntu is not on my computer now....
I guess this is related to GRUB or MBR? Could someone give me some hint pls?
As of now, I have already created a 70G partition and installed Ubuntu on it. Now my computer works weird. When it starts, it first asks me to choose a OS between Ubuntu and windows, If I choose Ubuntu it boots correctly. But if I choose windows, it will then asks me to choose between windows and ubuntu again. Apparently the second ubuntu is already removed from windows.
Any help is highly appprecited.
Thanks
Sean
