  1. GRUB loader still on Windows after uninstalling Linux


    I recently uninstalled Linux SteamOS more specificially and now whenever I boot, it takes me to a “GRUB rescue mode screen” and I have to restart and manually choose Windows to boot into it. Can someone help me remove GRUB?



    By the way, my hard drive is GPT

    How do I remove the Linux Boot Loader?

    You don't actually uninstall a boot loader but replace it with another.

    You cannot get Ubuntu to start on a Windows' boot loader, it needs to be GRUB (or an open source equivalent).

    Any ways, to get the Windows' boot loader back up, you need to insert your WIN7 installer disk and select the repair option>startup repair. I am assuming the WIN7 will use a similar setup menu as VISTA.

    Follow the guide here for step by step intructions: Fixing the Windows Bootloader via the setup DVD

    After that, just format the partition/disk that ubuntu is on...

    How to remove grub boot-loader after Windows 10 ugprade?

    I installed Windows 10 Pro, and I like it so much that I've decided to abandon my Ubuntu dual-boot.

    Question: How can I restore the Windows boot loader that was previously replaced by grub?

    Suggestion: It would be nice if the upgrade process would offer to help you with this if it detects another OS in the hard drive (in the same way the linux installer offers to do so).
