I installed Ubuntu and now I want to get rid of it because I hardly use it. I deleted the Ubuntu partitions, but that also broke Grub. I reinstalled Ubuntu and then repaired Grub, but I still want to get rid of Ubuntu. I don't have a CD burner, so I cant create a Windows rescue disk. I want to know if I can delete Ubuntu partitions and reinstall Grub via live USB to still be able to boot into Windows 7.

1@searchfgold6789 remember that he wants to keep GRUB, and can't get a windows reparation disk. – Braiam Aug 28 '13 at 14:46

@Angel Can you [edit] your question and provide the output of `cat /etc/fstab/` and `fdisk -l` – Braiam Aug 28 '13 at 14:47

There are options on the duplicate that can be run from a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu (that preserve GRUB). I think the cleaner solution is getting access to a Windows recovery CD but there you go. – Oli Aug 29 '13 at 09:35

You can delete the partitions, and then try boot-repair: That will repair Grub and not install Ubuntu.

I think he'll need at least a partition for Grub files (i.e. `/boot`) as I doubt that Grub supports NTFS. – Andrea Corbellini Aug 29 '13 at 09:26
