If you want to remove ubuntu then some people may ask “why not just delete Ubuntu partitions?”.\u00a0 No we can’t do like this because Ubuntu installs a boot loader called\u00a0GRUB<\/a><\/strong> into the\u00a0Master Boot Record (MBR)<\/strong>, if you delete Ubuntu partitions all the data will be deleted but not GRUB!\u00a0 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<\/strong><\/em>. So here I’m going to show you two ways to safely remove Linux.
\nFirst (Using MbrFix)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download mbfix from\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Extract all files in mbrfix.zip to C:.<\/li>\n
  3. Open Command Prompt (start->run-> type\u00a0cmd <\/strong>-> OK).<\/li>\n
  4. Type\u00a0cd <\/strong> and press enter.<\/li>\n
  5. Then type\u00a0mbrfix \/drive 0 fixmbr \/yes<\/strong> and press enter.<\/li>\n
  6. Now you can delete Ubuntu partitions (\/, swap etc) using Easeus Partition Manager or Windows Disk Management or other partition editor.<\/li>\n
  7. Restart your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This will overwrite GRUB with Windows boot loader . So you will see Windows boot loader instead of GRUB.<\/p>\n

    Second (Using Windows CD)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

    XP Users:<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Boot your PC with Windows XP CD and select\u00a0Repair<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Then select the OS, once you are there you’ll have a command line.<\/li>\n
    3. Type Administrator password. If Admin password is blank, just press Enter.<\/li>\n
    4. Type\u00a0fixmbr<\/strong>, and then press Enter.<\/li>\n
    5. Restart PC.<\/li>\n
    6. Delete Ubuntu Partitions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Vista Users:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
      1. Boot PC with Windows Vista installation disc.<\/li>\n
      2. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click\u00a0Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Click\u00a0Repair your computer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      4. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click\u00a0Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      5. In the\u00a0System Recovery Options<\/strong> dialog box, click\u00a0Command Prompt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press Enter.<\/li>\n
      7. Delete Ubuntu Partitions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This will also overwrite GRUB with Windows boot loader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
