How to remove Ubuntu with simple 3-step recovery Windows7

How to remove Ubuntu simultaneously with simple 3-step recovery Windows7Description

Writing this article is a strange thing for me, because I usually advocate installing Ubuntu and uninstalling Windows.

Let's write this article today even more strangely, I decided to write this day when Microsoft decided to end the mainstream support for Windows7.

So why do I have to write this article now?

So far I've been asked on many occasions how to remove Ubuntu from a dual system with WINDOWS7 or WINDOWS8, so writing this article makes sense.

I browsed the message of people in my article during Christmas, and felt it was time to write the missing article and update the older and more interesting articles.

I'm going to spend the rest of January on it. This is the first step. If you have a Windown7 and Ubuntu dual system installed on your computer and you do not want to restore the WINDOWS7 system by restoring the factory settings, please refer to this tutorial. (Note: For WINDOWS8 systems, there is a separate tutorial)

Steps required to remove Ubuntu system

1. To remove grub by repairing Windows Startup items
2. Delete Ubuntu system partition
3. Extending the Windows system partition

Backup system

Before you start, I recommend that you keep a backup of your system.

I also suggest not to give up this opportunity and not use Microsoft's own tools.

If you have data you want to save in Ubuntu, log in now and save the data to an external hard drive, USB drive, or DVD.

Step 1-Remove the Grub boot menu

When you start the system you will see a menu with a similar one.

To remove this menu directly into the Windows system, you must repair the master boot record.

To achieve this, I will show you how to create a system recovery disk, how to boot from the recovery disk, and how to fix the master boot record.

Press the Start button to search for backup and restore. Click the icon that appears.

will open a window with the same.

Click "Create System Repair disc".

You need an empty DVD disk.

Insert an empty DVD disk into the drive and select your DVD drive from the drop-down list.

Click "Create Disc".

Leave the disc on your computer to restart your computer and press the "enter" key on your keyboard when a message starts from the CD.

The system recovery options will appear on the screen.

It will ask you to choose your keyboard layout method.

Select the appropriate option from the list and click Next.

The next interface lets you select the operating system you want to repair.

Or you can use the previously saved system image to restore the system.

Select the options above and click "Next".

Now you will see an interface that has options such as repairing the hard drive and recovering your system.

What you need to do is fix the master boot record, which can be done through the brought life prompt.

Click "Command Prompt".

Now just enter the following command into the command prompt:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Next you will receive a message that the operation has completed successfully.

You can now close the Command Prompt window.

Click the "Restart" button and then remove the DVD.

Your computer will start to enter the WINDOWS7 system directly.

Step 2-Delete the Ubuntu partition

To remove Ubuntu you need to use the Disk Management tool provided by the Windows system.

Press the Start button and enter create and format disk partition in the search box. A window with a similar one will appear.

Now the above my screen will no longer be the same as yours, but it will not be too much difference. You'll see that the No. 0 disk has 101MB of unallocated space, plus 4 partitions.

This 101MB space is a mistake I made before I installed Windows7. drive C is the WINDOWS7 system, and the next partition (46.57GB) is the root partition of Ubuntu. The 287G partition is the/home partition, and the 8G partition is the swap space.

For Windows systems, what we really need is drive C, so the rest can be erased.

Note: Note that there may be a recovery partition on your disk. Do not delete the recovery partition: They should be labeled to set the file system to NTFS or FAT32

Right-click on the partition you wish to delete (for example: Root,home and Swap partitions) and click "Delete Volume" from the pop-up menu.

(Do not delete any NTFS or FAT32 file system partitions)

Repeat the above for the remaining two partitions.

After the partition is deleted you will have a large spare area. Right-click on the Idle area and select Delete.

Now your disk will contain drive C and a large amount of unallocated space.

Step 3-Extend the Windows partition

The final step is to extend windows so that it becomes a large partition again.
Right-click on the Windows partition (C-drive) and select "Extend Volume".

When the left window appears, click "Next",

Next is a wizard interface, where you can choose to extend to that disk while modifying the size of the extension.

By default, the wizard interface displays the maximum amount of disk space it can get from an unassigned zone.

Accept the default options, and then click Next.

The final interface shows the results of your selection in the previous interface.

Click "End" to expand the disk.

As you can see, my windows partition occupies the entire disk (except for the 101MB space that I accidentally created when I installed Windows).
