[duplicate] 3 answers Actually, I have done something terribly wrong. I did not want Ubuntu 13.04 on my PC anymore. I was sick of dual-booting every time the PC starts, and I wanted to return to Windows as well. (My version is Windows XP MCE SP2). The mistake I did is that I
Grub Rescue After Deleting Linux Partition
simply used EASUS Partition Manager to delete the Ubuntu partitions. But what went wrong here is that, even when I did it, the GRUB keeps trying to load. It says that GRUB could not be found and finally ends up running GRUB Rescue. I cannot "Repair" my PC using the Recovery Discs (containing Windows XP MCE), it only gives me an option to press "F", which will format the HDD to re-install the OS. Although, the best part is that I can still log in to Windows. Because, when I boot from the CD's, it does not give me a "Repair" option, but only "Format" and "Quit". By using "Quit", it takes me straight to Windows. But I do not want to keep doing this same thing every time I start my PC. Neither do I want to Format my Hard Disk. I have tried a few applications, like EasyBCD which do nothing. So I want a good solution for it. Is their any way to install MBR through Windows or maybe Ubuntu terminal? Even if i can't access Ubuntu again? And what after installing Ubuntu again. Any safe method to uninstall it? installation boot dual-boot grub2 share|improve this question edited Aug 15 '13 at 9:19 asked Aug 8 '13 at 16:27 Xavier 921111 marked as duplica

Since the installation didn't complete, do it again. share|improve this answer answered Nov 1 '10 at 11:25 outofstep 25714 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote You must install 10.10 again (and complete it). After that, you will have GRUB with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows too. share|improve this answer answered Nov 1 '10 at 11:26 Extender 1,6281622 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote If you know that your laptop "went away" when it had finished copying files, you can boot from CD, then mount up your local linux partition and chroot to it (mount proc and bind /dev inside your intended chroot) then just rerun grub installation (grub-install ) and you should have everything up and running. If you are unsure just initiate installation again and make sure it completes this time or monitor it, so you know where it stops. share|improve this answer answered Nov 1 '10 at 13:25 Osis 388128 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google

I liked the OS, and decided I wanted to install it to my hard-drive. I couldn't complete the installation because I needed to free up a partition. I booted back into Windows to view my Disk Management and free up a partition. I decided to re-format a partition that had a linux OS in it after deleting ubuntu that I no longer used. I used to boot into this OS using Grub. However, when I reformatted the disk, it seems to have deleted most of the grub files, but when I power up my laptop, I'm getting an "Error 15" message which I think is because Grub cannot find the OS files to boot because I deleted them. My problem now is that I can't boot back into Windows, I can only boot from USB ( I have no CD drive as I'm using a netbook ). I read online that to remove the Grub bootloader I must boot into Windows and run a few commands in recovery mode to reset the bootloader. Since I can't boot into Windows, and have no CD drive, this option doesn't seem like it's going to work. Any advice for me? I'm quite new to Linux, and currently my Netbook can only boot from USB and Windows ( 7 by the way ) is currently inaccessible. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I'm really quite stuck! Any suggestions are appreciated, I've been Googling for hours now! Thanks EDIT: To sum the question up: Is there a way to remove the Grub bootloader without entering Windows? For example can I boot something from USB and remove it from there? grub2 windows bootloader fedora share|improve this question edited Aug 3 '12 at 23:23 John S Gruber 9,91022153 asked Aug 3 '12 at
