[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 simply used EASUS Partition Manager
Deleted Linux Partition Grub Rescue
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 duplicate by Luis Alvarado♦ Aug 8 '13 at 17:41 This question

I liked the OS, and decided I wanted to http://askubuntu.com/questions/171722/cant-boot-to-windows-anymore-after-removing-grub-on-a-netbook 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 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 boo

Go to XP's recovery console using a bootable CD/pendrive. Navigate to your OS drive. For instance E: Run fixmbr and reboot. This will remove GRUB and install the Windows MBR. share|improve this answer edited Jan 9 '13 at 12:24 user13742 answered Jan 8 '13 at 18:13 ravi 485 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I'm not sure I follow, but what do you want to do? If you want to completely remove Linux (sadly), you're on the right path. You just have to boot into your XP CD and let the Windows setup take care of repartitioning and installation. Why do you need Grub? If you want to use both, Grub is obviously not able to find the Linux kernel that you deleted. The easiest way is to set up your partitions with something like Gp
