How to Remove Grub loader and Get Windows Vista,7 or 8 Boot Loader Back (uninstalling Linux)

If you want to Remove Grub Loader and Get Windows Vista,7 or 8 Boot Loader Back then FixMbr is basically the thing you will be looking forward to. It will automatically detect any Windows and write a windows boot for it, deleting the previous one. (Over writing the Grub Loader)

You can then Use Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions utility in the windows vista,7 or 8 to delete and reclaim the Linux drive/SWAP back. You do not need to use any Third Party Software to Partition Disk. Windows Utility is more than enough.

Here are some Steps if you don't want to go into the details on Microsoft Website.

1. Put the Windows 7 installation/Upgrade disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer (set to boot from CD in BIOS).

2. Press a key when you are prompted.

3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

4. Click Repair your computer.

5. Click the operating system that you want to repair (Windows 7 in this case), and then click Next.

6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.

7. Once in the command prompt, type exactly Bootrec.exe /FixMbr and then press ENTER. You will see "operation completed successfully." (Doesn't even take a second. Don't be alarmed )

8. Reboot and set BIOS to boot from the HDD again.

GRUB will be overwritten in step 7 and Windows bootloader will once again take control of loading your OS(s).

How to Install Windows 8 , 7 , Vista From a Usb Drive

Installing Windows from a USB flash drive has several advantages – First of all, the overall speed of the installation process will increase significantly, carrying a USB stick is much more convenient than a DVD, and finally it becomes possible to install the OS even on those systems that do not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook.

In this post, I will show you how to load the Windows installation on to your USB flash drive and make it bootable just like the DVD.
Tools Required:
1. USB flash drive with a minimum capacity of 4 GB.
2. Windows 8 , 7 , Vista set-up DVD or Virtual DVD Drive , which You can easily create by using these softwares Daemon Tools or PowerISO. Then Put Your Image File(i.e. "*.iso" , "*.nrg" ,etc)
  Step-1: Plug-in your USB flash drive and backup all the existing data in it.
  Step-2: Open the command prompt. If you are using Windows 7/Vista then open it with administrator rights*.
* Goto Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”.
  Step 3: In the command prompt, type in the following command:

DISKPART
Now issue the following command:

LIST DISK
This will show you a list of  available disks on your system. Disk 0 is usually the hard disk. In my case, Disk 5 is the USB drive (this can be a different one in your case). Now issue the command as shown below:

SELECT DISK 5
NOTE: In the above command, 5 is the USB drive number on my system. If you have a different number on your system, then you need to replace 5 with that number.
  Step-4: Now issue the following list of commands one by one as shown below:
CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK

ASSIGN

EXIT
Minimize the command prompt and proceed to the next step.
  Step 5: Insert the Windows 8/7/Vista installation disc and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive. In my case, it is “H:”. Now type the following list of commands as shown below:
H: CD BOOT

CD BOOT

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 M:(NOTE: M: is your USB drive letter)

EXIT
Step-6: Copy the contents of your Windows 8/7/Vista installation disk into the USB flash drive.
That’s it! Your USB stick is now ready to boot and install the OS for you. Don’t forget to enable the “USB Boot” option and change the “boot priority to USB device from hard disk” in your BIOS settings.
