Ubuntu :: Wubi Does Not Delete Windows

May 16, 2011

I know Wubi does not delete Windows or format the drive, but I have a desktop with a wireless Logitech mouse. Would Ubuntu let me use the mouse, or would it not have the driver? Also, I would like to know how to uninstall Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Delete Folder From Windows?

May 19, 2011

I installed a program in /usr/share on Ubuntu 10.04, but the program was actually bigger than there was room on that partition. It gave me some trouble, because when I tried to delete the folder, it said it couldn't move it to the Trash. When I restarted, it won't let me log in Ubuntu again...

Is it possible to delete this folder (/usr/share/IDE_SE) from Windows? or some other workaround to delete this folder in Ubuntu?

Ubuntu :: What Partitions Are Windows And Which To Delete?

Jul 21, 2011

I installed GParted Editor on Ubuntu. I'm looking at it. There's 4 partition selections, all apparently deletable. The problem is... I don't know which partitions are Windows. Therefore, I don't know which to delete.

None says Windows. There's the word label at the top. I do see DellUtilty and DellRestore under label on two partitions... and pretty sure my computer is a dell. Are the latter two windows and therefore can be deleted? The two remaining partitions, are Linux?

Ubuntu :: Delete Files On Windows 7 Partition?

Jul 1, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installed and i've mounted both NTFS partitions. The first contains my Windows partition (with Windows 7 on it) and the second contains my backup partition. They are two seperate hardisks.Now, i'm trying to delete files on my Windows partition, but the ability to 'Cut' is greyed out and there's no 'delete' option at all.This only occurs on my Windows partition, but my Backup partition can execute and option; whether delete, cut etc.I assume this is either a settings in Ubuntu or something about Windows that prevents alternate O/S's from messing around with it.So how can I go about enabling the feature to delete from my Windows partition? The idea is to erase all Windows related stuff so I can reinstall Windows.

Ubuntu :: Delete Grub And Boot Into Windows

Aug 30, 2010

I have removed Ubuntu and I just have Windows 7 installed.

When I turn on the laptop, Grub tries to load but it fails. I have used Windows 7 install DVD and clicked into repair windows start so I should get Windows default bootloader back, but when I restart, Grub is still there...

How do I remove grub and get the laptop to boot into Windows automatically?

This is my HDD, btw: [URL]

Note: I'm booting right now using iBoot, how do I repair this problem? I may run chkdsk, Windows asks me to run it every time I boot into it since 1 or 2 weeks... maybe it won't repair the boot loader until I ran chkdsk, I dunno

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Get Rid Of Windows Boot Mgr / Delete That?

Oct 31, 2010

I think I have the opposite problem of many I need to blow Windows 7 away completely.No dual boot...just 10.10 only.

I started with the live CD...so I don't know if this is a "wubi" thing or not. I'm trying to install onto an Intel X25 80GB SSD which formerly contained Windows 7. "Use entire disk" option chosen. The install went like a dream, a sheer joy to watch. Until I went to restart and there was Windows Boot Manager telling me there was a problem with my Windows installation. Correct, it's gone!

I started the live CD again, fired up gparted and deleted everything on on /dev/sda - the lot. Reinstalled 10.10 - rebooted - Windows Boot Manager still there. OK, yet another try. Back into live CD and this time fdisk, followed by shred, followed by verify that there's no partition table in gparted. Empty volume, no partition table.

Reinstalled 10.10 again & restarted. Yes, you guessed it. Windows Boot Manager is STILL there!

What on earth must I do to rid myself of this hated Windows Boot Manager? I feel like a complet twit, because I've installed Ubuntu over XP (etc) many times (on rotating rust, not an SSD admittedly but...a "disk" is a disk...is a disk)

Ubuntu Networking :: Windows XP Pro - Write And Delete From Folder And Lucid

Dec 22, 2010

I just got a new PC with 2TB of HDD space and it's running Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit. I have created a user for networking, called share and have created a folder within the home folder called public. I then shared the folder and gave 777 access to it as I want this to be public - but for my local network and my later for ssh access. I have installed samba, and under the sharing options I allowed for guest logins and people to write and delete from folder. SO how would I be able to "see" this from my windows machine? It's running XP pro and it has a domain other than workgroup - but that shouldn't affect it should it?

Also, the laptop with XP is on the wireless with and internal IP of 10.0.0.135 and my PC is on the LAN connection with and internal IP of 10.0.0.1 I'm sort of familiar with networks, but I have NO clue as to how to do this.

General :: Delete Protected Windows Executable Files Via System?

Oct 26, 2009

I use Ubuntu 9.04 exclusively on my own machines, but I have a couple of flash drives that got infected by some corrupt windows executable (*.exe) files, probably by somebody's trojan (they are Cruzer 4GB so came with installed fancy programs that I dont need but didnt remove and Windows keeps installing unwanted ini files and other trash every time I use them in somebody elses machine or in an internet cafe). I deleted quite a few files, but some are stubborn.
$ sudo chmod +w-X doesnt seem to work. How do I unprotect and remove them? The filesystem is vFAT.

I suspect the files were created by some kind of a trojan as my work requires my flash to be pretty promiscuous.
When I 've backed up all the good files I need, I'd be happy to reformat the flash drives as straight vanilla data storage and retrieval, provided I can still use them on a variety of machines running MS windows as well as on my Linux machines. Any guidance on reformatting?
