Boot Loader Problem

[Pooky]

I uninstalled Linux, but when I boot up my computer it still gives me the option of loading into Linux or Windows. How do I fix this to just load straight into Windows?

DOS bootdisk, run fdisk /mbr

or boot from your windows disk, goto recovery console, and run 'fixmbr'

does pooky run vista to

 

[Pooky]

Yep.

DOS bootdisk??? I don't have a floppy drive, and my Vista CD won't take me to the recovery console.

That's because you use Vista.

Use XP to get you where Vista can't

I know in XP there was a way to have the Recovery Console added as an option on boot, ie it would boot of the hard drive. Doesn't Vista have the option to install a local Recovery Console?

 

[Pooky]

I can't get to the recovery console in vista. Can I use a linux livecd to fix it?

 

[milomak]

well linux can only install grub or lilo onto the mbr. if you want the vista one (or xp), you need to run fixmbr in vista (or xp).

I am sure many have wanted to do this: do a google search for vista fixmbr
