I just deleted my windows 7 partition as I just don't need it anymore.
But, the grub screen still appears and I have to choose between windows 7 and ubuntu.
I'd like to eliminate the grub screen totally if possible....or, at the minimum eliminate the line that says 'boot to windows'.
After I deleted the windows partition, I did a 'sudo update-grub' in terminal, but the issue seems to be that it is still finding sda2, which is the windows recovery partition...hence it thinks windows is still installed. When looking at the partition, I found sda2 was listed as 'bootable', so I used gparted to eliminate the bootability and retried. But, after doing the grub update command, grub still finds windows 7 partition and lists it when grub starts.
Is there anyway to eliminate the grub screen or to change the screen so windows 7 does not appear as an option when grub starts?
TIA
