So after installing Ubuntu, I wanted to get rid of Windows. So I installed GParted and then looked through it. I deleted just 1 Partition and restarted my System.  Now ever since I installed Ubuntu(Which is today), everytime I booted-up my PC, it would automatically go onto Windows and then I'd have to boot-up Ubuntu from there. And since I've deleted 1 Partition, I cannot get back into Windows. All it shows is the Troubleshooting-Panel and what OS I want to boot-up(Luckily enough, I can still boot-up Ubuntu).  I really want to recover this Windows Partition. I'm really scared in case I can't get Windows back or I've broken a really important part of my PC.

I have a Toshiba satellite A-200 laptop with a Vista OS on it with 4 NTFS partitions  (C:) Vista  (D:) Entertainment  (E:) Work  (F:) Sources   and I wanted to start using Ubuntu instead. So I tried it first from the live CD and everything was OK and all the partitions were shown and working and so I decided to install Ubuntu to replace Vista on the (C:) drive. After I did that I can no longer find my folders and files on the (D:), (E:), (F:) partitions and the only file system that is shown is one 198 GB although my HDD is 320 GB.  I can't access the lost data on the remaining 120 GB which I hope is still there and not totally lost  I am now working from the live CD but I am unable to install testdisk. Can I recover the Vista partitions by the product recovery CD to get my laptop back to the factory settings? Can I recover the NTFS partitions using a recovery program for Windows or will that make the problem worse?   I need these data badly as I don't have a backup for them.

I am just about to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, just need to make sure I know how to remove it later.  I know from past the major problem was when I removed Ubuntu, I either still got into the GRUB booting menu, or I couldn't boot at all, and had to format HDD and start over. Now I found an article practically saying the Windows loader should be back upon deleting Linux partition, so I want to make sure:  If I have Windows and Ubuntu dualboot, and I want to get back to Windows booting quickly itself without choosing from any booting menu, is it enough to just delete the Ubuntu partition? Will the Windows loader override GRUB?  Thanks!

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 onto my Acer Aspire E15. The PC has a 500 Gigabyte HDD.   During the installation it divided the HDD into separate partitions. However every time I turn on the PC it goes directly into Windows 8.1. It doesn't allow you the opportunity to select which OS you want to use.   Question 1: How do I set the PC so it will allow me to select the OS?  Question 2: And if #1 isn't possible. How to I remove Ubuntu from the PC and recover the partition for Windows

How do I access the recovery mode in Ubuntu 18.04? I don't see any form of grub bootloader when the system boots - it just goes straight into the OS.

I have installed Ubuntu as another OS on my laptop, and my default OS is Windows 7. I just want to know how to remove (or uninstall) Ubuntu without harming the other OS.  PS: Ubuntu and Windows 7 are both installed on one drive.

So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows XP, and I played with it for a like an hour. When I wanted to go back to Windows, I chose the Windows option in the GRUB screen. It just gives a black screen and goes back to grub. I tried boot-repair as I've seen in some other post that it could resolve the problem, but it's all the same. Nothing changed. I can use Ubuntu but not Windows. Can someone please tell me how I can solve this? Thanks.

I have two systems installed previously Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu and format the Ubuntu OS partition using a tool in Windows 7.   When I have Ubuntu ready on a USB stick and restart my laptop, it prompts me with the GRUB rescue screen. If I boot from USB to install Ubuntu, it just hangs.   Anyway, I messed up everything. So my question is how can I boot Windows 7 now?

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a hard drive, and after that on a different partition on the same hard drive with windows7. In both cases, after Ubuntu finished installing, the computer reboots, and it boots automatic into window7, without any boot menu to select the OS. So, How can I make my bootloader to see both windows and Ubuntu?

I have Windows 7 installed in my internal HDD and wanted to try out Ubuntu so I have an USB to put Ubuntu LiveUSB on and installed Ubuntu on a external HDD and everything worked out fine.  Now the problem. If I remove the external HDD and try to boot Windows normally it shows the grub rescue screen. The only way to boot into Windows is by having the external HDD attached.  Is there any way I can make it so I won't have to have the external HDD attached to be able to boot my Windows 7?

I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu, both installed on separate partitions. I don't need Ubuntu anymore. How can I remove the Ubuntu partition(s) and add the reclaimed space to my Windows 7 partition for saving files in Windows?

Soooooo, I seem to have myself in a very particular situation. Let me start from the beginning, I set up dual boot with Windows 10, and Lubuntu. Everything went according to plan. I then decided that I wanted to remove dual-boot. I looked on several articles some saying to use bootrec.exe, to repair and remove it but then I realized "It doesn't use the windows boot manager... it uses grub." So with this knowledge I searched for guides on how to remove grub. I found a guide () I could not access my system drive, so I dual-booted into Lubuntu and used root to access the EFI folder and deleted the "ubuntu" folder and rebooted to a happy little message saying: Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key_ . I realize that all my data is still there. I realize that in deleting the "ubuntu" folder that I deleted critical files part of the loading of grub. I now need to somehow replace these files, and get back to Windows 10.  Sidenote: I don't have bootrec.exe as a command. I checked this before I deleted the grub files.  Thanks for the help, -r

I installed Ubuntu (I had already had Windows 8.1) from USB (I still have live Ubuntu on it). Is there a way I can uninstall Ubuntu in a way that my Windows will remain bootable? All the tutorials I have seen say that uninstalling ubuntu will delete GRUB also so I will need a Windows recovery CD to boot into it, but I don't have one. Is there a solution?
