Uninstalling Ubuntu completely I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my laptop, played around it for a bit, and then completely wiped the HDD. By completely, I mean that I literally wiped every partition merged and then formatted it again and then installed Windows 10.  So my situation is: After all of this, I ran windows and all, but one day I went to the Windows Boot Manager and I saw the generic names like ATA HDD, ATAPI CD...And the last one was Ubuntu.   I tried clicking it, but it booted to Windows after that, and I wanted to install Windows 7. Then I realized that I couldn't boot from USB. I don't know if this was related, but I am just telling, for the sake of context.   So my question now is: How can I remove the Ubuntu entry from the Windows Boot Manager?
How to remove the Ubuntu menu of Windows Boot Manager? I have an ASUS K55VM and it came with DOS, and then Windows 7 was installed. I am planning to install Ubuntu on it. My computer had 4 partitions: 240GB, 230GB, 230GB, and 230GB, and I changed this to 5 partitions: 243GB, 230GB, 230GB, 150GB, and 80GB. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 to the 80GB partition through a USB flash drive. It installed fine, however the problem is during the Boot option in Windows Boot Manager. When I choose Ubuntu, this what is displayed:  Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:   1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.   2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next,"   3. Click "Repair your computer." If you don't have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.    File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr   Status: 0xc000000e   Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.   I tried to change the boot option for the OS and made Ubuntu as my first option. It worked, however Windows 7 does not show up in GRUB. In this fear I did the following:     Restarted my PC changed boot option 1 to Windows.   Formatted the drive to which Ubuntu was installed (80GB one) through Windows.   Restarted again.     The problem persists. Windows Boot Manager still shows Ubuntu, and when I choose this it gives two lines one like: grub rescue&gt;, but my Windows 7 is working perfectly fine.  Now I want a solution to remove Ubuntu from the Windows boot option and reinstall completely.
Sort array of objects by string property value Change the height of a function being plotted Top bar search doesn't pick up subdomains I wanted to switch to  in the handy dandy site switcher in the new top bar. Entering "cook" brings up nothing:     ... so I have to remember that the boutique title of the site is "Seasoned Advice":     ... in which case the site switcher also thinks that maybe I was thinking of heading over to  to see what's up. So the site switcher searches site names and descriptions, but not subdomains. This is unexpected behavior - I believe it should search all three. Windows does not mount USB NTFS superfloppy I have a Transcend Storejet external USB hard disk. This is not an SSD, but a mechanical disk with rotating plates. I have formatted the whole disk, without partitioning, as NTFS. I have used mkntfs tool under Linux.  When plugged into a Linux machine, the system sees a drive with two partitions (/dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2). However, as I know it is a partitionless disk, I can mount the whole device (mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc /mnt) and it works without any problems.  When plugged into a MS Windows XP machine, the systems sees a disk with two unformatted partitions, and it does not assign a drive letter to either the whole disk, nor to any of the partitions.  Would anyone know how to get MS Windows to mount my disk as a NTFS superfloppy?  I have already tried removing old USB mounting points and residual devices using 'DriveCleanup'. It did not help.  By the way, I also have an external Kingston USB SSD, also formatted as NTFS superfloppy, without partitioning. However, this one is recognized and mounted normally by MS Windows. Is the axiom of choice needed in proving that metric spaces in which every infinite subset has a limit point are compact? Multiple regression in R results different to simple linear regression? What is the difference between building from source and using an install package? Which gears combinations shouldn't be used? Is there any general rule or recommendation to avoid usage of certain gears combinations (for 2xN and 3xN gears systems)? Do they differ for mtb and road bikes?  I know that it's recommended not to use biggest front chainring with big chainrings on cassette (and opposite) because parts will wear faster and I will loose a bit of pedaling efficiency, but I'm not sure, if I should avoid 2 or 3, or even more biggest (smallest in opposite case) chainrings on cassette. Halo particles don't render in Cycles Solutions to the equation $ze^{a-z}=1$ Let $a \in \mathbb{R}, a&gt;1,$ and consider the equation $$ze^{a-z}=1$$ How many solutions does this equation have in the unit disk, and how many of those solutions are real?   My attempt to solve was to use the Argument Principle on the function $f(z)=ze^{a-z}-1$, in hopes of recovering the number of zeroes that way. The integral I attempted to compute for this was $$\int_{|z|=1} \frac{e^{a-z}-ze^{a-z}}{ze^{a-z}-1}dz=\int_{|z|=1}\frac{1-z}{z-e^{z-a}}dz$$  I do not know how to proceed from here, as the $e^{z-a}$ in the denominator seems problematic. Thanks for your help! How to skip kernel update? I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS i686 on VirtulBox. Every time I check the updates, there's a new Linux kernel. If I install the new kernel, I have to install the Virtulbox Guest Additions again and reboot the server. I don't want to do this every week. I know I can manually uncheck the kernel packages from update manager, but is there a way to skip the kernel update automatically? I found an answer here, but it's for Ubuntu 10. Thanks. I have enum and use the variables like myEnum.SomeNameA, myEnum.SomeNameB, etc.  When I return one of these variables from a function, can I print their names (such as myEnum.SomeNameA) instead of the value they returned? I have a user control that I load into a MainWindow at runtime. I cannot get a handle on the containing window from the UserControl.   I have tried this.Parent, but it's always null. Does anyone know how to get a handle to the containing window from a user control in WPF?  Here is how the control is loaded:  private void XMLLogViewer_MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {     MenuItem application = sender as MenuItem;     string parameter = application.CommandParameter as string;     string controlName = parameter;     if (uxPanel.Children.Count == 0)     {         System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjectHandle instance = Activator.CreateInstance(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName, controlName);         UserControl control = instance.Unwrap() as UserControl;         this.LoadControl(control);     } }  private void LoadControl(UserControl control) {     if (uxPanel.Children.Count &gt; 0)     {         foreach (UIElement ctrl in uxPanel.Children)         {             if (ctrl.GetType() != control.GetType())             {                 this.SetControl(control);             }         }     }     else     {         this.SetControl(control);     } }  private void SetControl(UserControl control) {     control.Width = uxPanel.Width;     control.Height = uxPanel.Height;     uxPanel.Children.Add(control); } What is "anycast" and how is it helpful? I'd never heard of anycast until a few seconds ago when I read "".  The wikipedia "" article on it is quite formal and doesn't really evoke a mental picture of how it would be used.  Can someone explain in a few informal sentences what "anycast" is, how you configure it (just in a general sense), and what its benefits are (what does it make easier)? How did Dumbledore gain the loyalty of Fawkes? How did Dumbledore find Fawkes. Did Dumbledore have Fawkes even when working as a Transfiguration teacher or acquired it after having Headmaster position. They both have a very strong bond between them. When did Dumbledore gain this. Update: Dumbledore says that Ollivander wrote to him when Harry's wand was purchased; if Dumbledore did not have Fawkes before 1938, he would not know about the two feathers being in the wands, so Fawkes and Dumbledore must have met and bonded before 1938  “My wand's feather came from Fawkes?” Harry said, amazed. &quot;Yes,” said Dumbledore. “Mr. Ollivander wrote to tell me you had bought the second wand, the moment you left his shop four years ago.” -Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire, Chapter 36-The Parting Of the Ways.  Update 2: JKR says that Dumbledore was the only owner of Fawkes. So it is to be believed that Fawkes was a wild Phoenix before its bonding with Dumbledore.  Peter Humphreys for BBC Newsround: Who did Fawkes previously belong to and will he play a vital role in the next book? JK Rowling: I am not going to answer about the role in the next books, which probably gives you a big clue, and he has never been owned by anyone but Dumbledore. You will notice that when Harry goes back in the Pensieve in this book, Fawkes is never there, and ­­ no, I am sorry, not in this book, I take that back. When Harry has previously seen the study with a different headmaster he saw it with Dippet and Fawkes was not there then. Fawkes is Dumbledore's possession, not a Hogwarts possession. $A,B,C$ are three $n\times n$ matrices such that $A$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues, $AB=BA$, and $AC=CA$.   We need to show $BC=CB$.  Let $A$ be diagonalizable with eigenvectors say, $v_1,\dots,v_n$, so there exists $P$ such that $PAP^{-1}=D$. What more I can say from the information? Please help. How do you prove that there are infinitely many primes of the form $5 + 6n$? Is there difference in force when the height increases? Consider a man with mass 50kg.   When he jumps from a 2 meter height, the total force is $F=ma$ ie (mass * gravity), but nothing happens to him. When he jumps from a 50 meter height, the total force is (mass * gravity ) same, but he dies.   Why is this happening? We often see new users make offtopic, low quality posts, with broken English and cries for help. These questions look significantly different from most on SO.  When I worked in publishing, we would frequently receive documents that were incorrectly formatted. This was a major problem and we wasted a lot of time sending emails back and forth.  I made a small JavaScript quiz asking our authors about the formatting directions and the number of emails drastically dropped. I felt this was much nicer than simply rejecting them, additionally providing us a chance to make the directions more clear.  It is slightly unconventional but, would showing new users a quiz where they have to identify good and bad posts help to improve the quality of SO questions?
