Hi all,
I have developed a simple tool to easily uninstall any Ubuntu (or other Linux distro) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615667) from an Ubuntu live-CD. It works very well for any Linux installed on a separate partition. :guitar:
Now I am wondering if it is possible to add it the possibility to uninstall a Wubi installation. Maybe some of you may know how to help me.
For the moment, I know how to detect a Wubi install (just need to detect a /ubuntu/disks/root.disk file).
Then, all tutos I found use Windows tools, but this "How do I manually uninstall Wubi?" paragraph (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20uninstall%20Wubi?) gives clues to do it from a live-CD :
- Remove C:\ubuntu and C:\wubildr* : ok
- remove Ubuntu from the Windows bootloader : do you know how to do this from a live-CD for Vista and Seven ?
- remove Ubuntu from the registry : do you know how to do this from a live-CD
