Uninstalling Ubuntu completely and repairing the Windows bootloader?

Question

Loaders

Colleagues, help, please, on the following question.
There is a netbook Acer Aspire One 531h, with native WinXP. There is a hidden recovery partition on the hard drive.
Put Kubuntu there, respectively, GRUB became the bootloader. But now there is a need to return everything as it was, i.e. to demolish Linux, and return the bootloader to the native Acer's - so that it is possible to boot into the recovery partition using ALT + F12.
Before installing Kubuntu, I created an MBR backup using the MBRWizard utility.
So what needs to be done to get everything back the way it was?

Answer 1

If there is a backup, what's the problem with restoring it?

Answer 2

Heretic! Don't touch the bubble!

Answer 3

If Kubuntu was installed in the multiboot, then as an option, leave it as it is.
Let the father-in-law try.
You might like it.
Or strained with a hard drive?
You can also default to boot into windows®.
And if you still want to delete it, delete it from the live cd.
On boot, enter the recovery console and run fixmbr.
Perhaps nothing will be loaded, then you can enter the recovery console from <any> windows® installation disk.
But the first option is easier.

Answer 4

neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 - restore default Windows boot.
Through "computer management" delete the partition with ubuntu and expand Windows.
And the section with information for recovery IMHO cannot be restored. you need to make a backup copy of it.

Answer 5

Boot from the windows xp disk, offer to start the recovery console, press "R". Next, the console will prompt you to select the Windows folder. Run bootcfg /rebuild command

Answer 6

I have a somewhat opposite question. I want to remove Win XP and install Win 7. It is clear that after installing the seven, GRUB will be overwritten. Is it possible to somehow return GRUB to its place from the Ubuntu Live CD after installing Venda?

Answer 7

Boot into Windows. Delete the partition with ubuntu. Do fixmbr, then fixboot.

Answer 8

In general, returned everything as it was. Indeed, the restoration from the MBR backup helped. Only now I did not take into account one thing - I already compressed the section with Windows from the ubunt installer. Accordingly, when the MBR was restored, Windows considered its partition and the Ubuntu partition to be a single entity. However, CHKDSK / F - and everything is OK, there are no errors. By the way, the recovery partition is loading, everything is OK.
So thank you all!
And for the same experimenters like me, one piece of advice: cut off the place for ubunta in advance, and only then backup the MBR.
