Thread: Want to delete Win7 from Ubuntu+XP+Win7 triple boot

-

at moment have ubuntu, xp, , windows 7 beta on different partitions in computer. want rid of windows 7 (it expires soon).

don't know best way - microsoft page doesn't include instructions situation. don't need of files in win7 partition; i've hardly used it.

@ moment, ubuntu boot screen upon starting computer up, options of booting ubuntu, xp, or win7. ubuntu boots fine. if choose xp, computer fails boot. if choose win7, win7 boot screen - here, can choose xp , win7, both of boot correctly.

i'd able boot xp , ubuntu initial ubuntu boot screen. advice, please?

thank reading this.

it sounds though win7 bootloader configured have choice of xp or w7, xp entry in grub faulty. grub error when choose xp grub menu?

if wasn't problem, have edit grub's menu.lst remove w7 entry. re-use w7 c: partition want. don't have uninstall w7 - either reformat partition or delete files on , use data storage. ntfs filesystem read/writeable in ubuntu , xp see e:, f:, g: or whatever.

of course, if remove w7 files, wan't able boot xp, let's see if can xp booting grub first.

post following:

contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst

, terminal output of:

code:
sudo fdisk -l

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table. ( hope ;-) ) i post here tab separated table : code: [select] arduino mega 2560 pin mapping table atmega 2560 pin out arduino mega function nr name function function function mapped pin name function function datasheet 1 pg5 oc0b digital pin 04 pwm 2 pe0 rxd0 pcint8 digital pin 00 rx0 (usart0 receive pin, programming data input or pin change interrupt 8) 3 pe1 txd0 digital pin 01 tx0 (usart0 transmit pin or programming data output) 4 pe2 xck0 ain0 (usart0 external clock  input/output) 5 pe3 oc3a ain1 digital pin 05 pwm 6 pe4 ...

(brightness , color mixing) code: [select] /* * code cross-fading 3 leds, red, green , blue (rgb) * create fades, need 2 things: *  1. describe colors want displayed *  2. list order want them fade in * * describing color: * color array of 3 percentages, 0-100, *  controlling red, green , blue leds * * red red led @ full, blue , green off *   int red = { 100, 0, 0 } * dim white 3 l...
