Booting issues


Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm running Windows XP Professional but I wanted to try out Linux Ubuntu.I had created another partition of 20 gb for it.I didn't like it so I got rid of it.The thing is : now when I'm starting my computer I'm being asked if I wanna run Windows or Ubuntu ( even if Ubuntu does not exist no more ).My question : how do I get rid of this booting question in order to run Windows without being asked anything at all ? I find it really annoying...I tryed out a few stuff from Hiren's CD ( ver. 9.7 ) and I also tryed a few things by executing "msconfig" from the BOOT.INI section ( I can see it : C\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" ) but I cand delete it just like that.Pleaseeeeee help !

ps : until now I couldn't even run windows because the system was looking for "grub" to boot , but I managed to solve it out with a simple "fdisk".

Thank you !

Try this ?

Reboot the computer with your Windows CD in

Select the Repair Console

At the prompt type fixmbr

Then reboot (do not press any key to boot from the CD)

If it does not boot into Windows properly you will need to go back into the Console and this time type fixboot
