I used to have dual boot win 7, and Ubuntu. I uninstalled Ubuntu. Everything (Win 7), is working fine EXCEPT my boot screen still has Ubuntu listed. It doesn't affect anything, it just bothers me. I was fine with "Boot.Ini" under XP, but now I don't know how to get rid of it!

There are some command-line tools for managing this but I've always found VistaBootPro to be much easier to use as it's GUI-based. Despite the name, the current version works with Windows 7 too.

Micker, do you mean that the Windows boot screen was replaced by an UBUNTU screen? or do you mean the GRUB boot screen or the LOGIN screen?
also did you install Ubuntu under Windows or from a DVD?

Everything is gone, and Win 7 boots OK (Ubuntu was the second choice on the boot screen). All I have left is the listing on the boot screen. If I click on that, it just says that "the program can't be found"! Then I hit escape, and choose Windows. It doesn't interfere with the Windows boot. It just bothers me that it is there!
B3, I installed Ubuntu long ago under XP! Then I transferred everything to Win 7.
I just D/L the newest Ubuntu iso. Should I just go ahead and install that and not worry about it?

I would follow Linney's advice on removing GRUB and restoring the W7 BootMBR...
Ubunu can be run from the DVD...
