well, the program successfully removed Grub.
that's good news. now i only have one boot loader to deal with.
but ideally, i could get rid of the windows one too (at least maybe set the timeout to zero).

ideas (not involving the dvd)?

What boot menu are you looking at exactly? EasyBCD can remove options for the Windows boot menu if you are showing 2 versions of Windows, or you can use MSconfig.exe. You can also set the visible timeout with MSconfig on the boot tab.

the windows boot loader.
annoyingly, it's still listing Ubuntu as an option (i've thoroughly uninstalled it).
and i've done msconfig. it only lists Windows 7 as the only option, but i swear... the menu itself is displaying Ubuntu as well.
i've set the timeout to 3 seconds, so it's not all that annoying.
but still annoying.............

I would suggest you open an Administrative Command Prompt and type bcdedit to see if the Ubuntu listing is in the Windows menu. If it is, it can be removed very easily.

If you type bcdedit /? /delete you will be given examples of the commands. Keep in mind, copying and pasting things like the entry id saves a lot of typing in the command window.

If you want, take a picture of your BCD store entries and attach.

I don't want to jump into the middle of anything or interrupt anyone's train of thought, but if you could use a repair disk (not a full install disk) we host them for free here Official Windows 7 Downloads - Downloads - Windows 7 Forums if it would help out at all.
Just saying...
