if u have installed WIn7 first and then Ubuntu then try searching for the files over Win7 and delete them...I guess so ....never done it so i am not sure....

Yea. I Have installed Win 7 First. But there aren't any kubuntu Files in Win 7 Folders.

So can not do that. If You know any other method let me know.

Just delete the hard drive partition you created for the other OS
Use this freeware to manage partitions http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-...n-manager.html

Or if you have a huge hard drive and just wanna hide other OS, use a boot manager

Let Me Check if This works.

Update: This method ####ed me to great Extent.

I deleted the Hard Drive partition. when i restarted my PC, Nothing would come up except error messages.

To Fix This I had to Finally install another OS(Vista) in that very partition to fix the problem.

It was because of the grub (the boot manager with ubuntu) if you just putted a a recovery console CD and wrote the command : "fixmbr" it should have fixed that issue.

[Ultim8nexT]

Yea. You Are damn Correct. i wish u had told me this a little earlier. I got the same grub error.

Just delete the partition in windows and merge. Then use EasyBCD to fix the GRUB BEFORE REBOOTING THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

[Ultim8nexT]

Can You tell me how to fix the GrUB using EasyBCD. i have EasyBCD, but don't know how to use it.

Format the partition where Ubuntu is installed
