Last night i thought id give Unbuntu a try and installed it through the Wubi installer as i was currently running Win7: Home Premium all went well i was presented with the dual boot window that listed both Unbuntu and Win 7 but after logging onto the Unbuntu i was presented with "updates" i chose to install them because i thought it would be like windows and have drivers i would be needing and such...

basically i set the Wubi to partition off 30gigs of my secondary drive (D) not sure if this was a bad idea or not lol. i installed the updates it asked for a restart i did so but now im stuck on:

error: no such device: 63337a7c5-9091-4d2f-a9c5-4a249f68175a
grub rescue>

at this point i want to just figure out how to uninstall unbuntu as i dont have these kinds of issues with windows =(
------------------

i have tried rolling back my system through the recovery disc and i have tried the "auto" fix provided through the disc.




thanks for the help in advance

awesome thanks for your help, the command plus a system restore seems to have removed unbuntu completely, now i just need to figure out how to remove the partition i made for it and replace it back with my C drive

If you still have the \ubuntu\disks\root.disk file then Ubuntu is not gone. System restore may remove the boot.ini entry but shouldn't remove the data. Can you confirm this?

EDIT: never mind I see you wanted to remove Ubuntu in the first place.
