3on Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I have just installed Ubuntu on a drive ( a different one from Hackintosh's drive) and I get a grub error now on each of my drives (gosh I hate grub). I allready had this problem in the past but I can't remmember how I fixed it. So could some tell how to remove the grub so that I get the darwin boot lader again ? I thought that if I was setting the partition active it could fix it but it did not...

3on Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 thanks for answering but, I do't want to fix the grub, I just want to remove it from a disk on which linux is not installed. I know it can easily be done but just can't remmember how to do it...

HeroDreamerCS Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Look up Super GRUB disk. Choose to boot windows and it will removed GRUB from your MBR. It will set everything like it was before your installed it (it won't boot into Windows if you had to auto-booting OS X, etc.) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49154-grub-issue/#findComment-351852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroDreamerCS Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 It doesn't matter that you only have OS X installed, you still go through it the exact same way. It just removes GRUB, leaving things the way they were before. Download this and burn it to a cd: http://sgd.howto-linux.de/download/binarie.../sgd_0.9588.iso Then boot from it and go to Advanced->Uninstall GRUB->Restore Windows->2000/2003/XP (that's from memory so don't hold me to that.) Although you should be able to figure it out if you have OS X/Linux installed.
