Removal

have you installed Ubuntu beside windows 7 ? and now you are not using it and want to remove it ? if this is your reason or any other, this is a simple step-by-step procedure to remove ubuntu and/or merge you current windows volume with the empty partition yield from removing Ubuntu...

I don't claim inventing this, because It is a combination from many how to do tutorials online that I found.

PLEASE PRINT THIS BEFORE STARTING, since you are going to restart the PC.

1- First you need to have the "Windows 7 repair disc", if you don't have it, you can easily creat one by the following:
a- insert an empty CD
b- Go to the Start Menu --> All Programs --> maintenance --> Create a System Repair Disc
c- Click Create
2- In this Step we are going to remove the Ubuntu Grub, so insert the repair CD and restart the computer, and press F12 so you can go to the boot menu and chose to boot from the CD/DVD ROM drive.
3- when you enter the menu:
a- Click on the "Command Prompt" option, then type : bootsect/nt60 C: /mbr
b- after the above finished, type exit.
c- Click restart
4- Now you should be able to boot to windows directly.
5- Now you will have "partition Wizard Home Edition" for here
a- after installing you will see all the partitions you have
b- delete the Ubuntu partition, and the Linux swap Partition.
c- resize your current partition to include the deleted ones
d- Click Apply on the top left.
6- YOU ARE DONE :-D

Any Questions or Comments are welcomed :-)
