X86 asker Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi, I have windows xp and i have installed Ubuntu on my external hdd. Windows is running on my Laptop hard disk drive. Now, i need to get my external hdd to boot up linux or windows. That's not cool for me because sometimes I don't have it with me. I want to know A safe way to remove the GRUB loader and Ubuntu completly to keep only Windows and Hackintosh. I have 3 partitions on my external hdd one for my data of 211 gb, one of 10 gb for linux (ext3) and one for Linux swap of 1 gb. I want to get these Ubuntu partitions as unallocated space. Ps: I can't see Ubuntu ext3 and swap in My computer. Thank you for helping me in this problem because i don't like the GRUB loader...

redshot Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hello, to uninstall GRUB you can boot with the Windows XP CD, wait for it to load, then press "R" (Repair), and in the command line write: fixboot fixmbr And it will do it. To get your Mac working, you can do it using the "chain0" file, copying it to the Windows root, and then adding this line to the boot.ini: C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" If you want to boot with Darwin, just boot up with Gparted, select the Hfs partition, right click, manage flags, and tick the "boot" box.
