How to delete windows in boot menu?

Asked by Thersko

Hello,

My question is: "How do I delete my windows 7 from my boot menu?"

I formated the partition where windows 7 was installed but if i boot my pc it's still there.
I installed ubuntu with the windows desktop installer.

Kind Regards, Thersko

I'll give you mine which single boots:

cd $HOME
sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ~
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/30_os-prober
sudo mv ./30_os-prober /etc/grub.d
sudo update-grub

Is it now not in the list?

SOLVED: reinstalled my ubuntu by cd and deleted all my partitions to one big HDD.

it already one big HDD, you just amalgamated all the space to one big PARTITION. There is a difference :)
