How To Remove Ubuntu

In this post, I will tell you how to remove Ubuntu Linux from your system. This tutorial is only when you have Ubuntu Linux Dual Boot with Windows with GRUB loader installed and you want to remove Ubuntu partition only without corrupting Windows partition.

We cannot delete Ubuntu partition directly because Ubuntu installs a GRUB boot loader into the Master Boot Record (MBR), if you delete Ubuntu partitions all the data will be deleted but not GRUB! So when your restart your PC, GRUB will look for Ubuntu , when it does not find Ubuntu it show some error and you cannot even boot into windows. So here I'm going to show you how to safely remove Linux. 

Boot to Windows:

• Download EASUS Partition Master HERE.
• Then download mbfix from HERE.
  
• Extract all files in mbrfix.zip to C:\.
• Open Command Prompt [start >> run >> type cmd >> OK]
• In the Command Prompt, type cd\ and press enter.
• Then type mbrfix /drive 0 fixmbr /yes and press enter.
• By using EASUS Partition Master look for the Linux partition. (If you don't know which, it is usually identify as * besides of using letters to identify the partition). Now you can delete Ubuntu partitions (/, swap etc) using the software.
• Restart your PC.

This will overwrite GRUB with Windows boot loader . So you will see Windows boot loader instead of GRUB.
 
Note : If you are using Windows 7 or Vista make sure you run the Command Prompt as an administrator.
