    Bootloader description set as "ubuntu"


    Hello there,


    Recently I tried out Ubuntu by dual booting it alongside Windows 10. Later I figured that I don't really need Ubuntu and that it's not really an OS for me so I've removed it. The problem is that bootloader still has description set as "ubuntu". Will that in any way affect my machine and how to I set it back?


    This is what it looks like:

    Bootloader description set as "ubuntu" aea7a2d0-c437-40a1-94db-7ee303d0bc9a?upload=true.png


    This is what it should look like:

    Bootloader description set as "ubuntu" 4add3c1d-9102-475e-a60e-41c5b15d5f6e?upload=true.png

    :)

    Booting to Ubuntu with vista bootloader

    I have looked around the web for help, but that never really explained what i hopefully want to accomplish.
    I have a laptop with vista x64, where i made two additional partitions. One for windows 7 and one for linux which i can fiddle around with.
    And because im only gonna use linux on/off and propably uninstall it re-install it now and then, i dont want it to use linux's bootloader.
    So on the third partition i installed ubuntu without the linux bootloader and of course vista's bootloader wont recognize it. Only vista and win 7 appears.

    So how can i make vista's bootloader see ubuntu?

    Booting to Ubuntu with vista bootloader

    I looked into doing this too recently. I found conflicting info on it, but it all ended up more complicated than it was worth to me (it involves creating the bootloader in a hidden partition or something, then editing grub in bcd in windows and re-writing the mbe). It was much easier to simply let GRUB install at the beginning of the hdd as it is defaulted to do. This will boot up the grub menu, which you can then select either ubuntu or windows bootloader, which will take you to that.

    As for running apps, many seem to be required to run through the terminal (I'm new as well). Google the extension type (in your case .bin) in ubuntu and you should hopefully find a way.
