Re: Easy to use Linux/Unix for a newbie I think there's a utility to make that easier. I can't remember what it's called, I want to say it's Startup Manager. |

| Yeah, SM might do the job. I don't dual boot so I'm not sure. |

Why not use Wubi? |

It's Grub Customizer. There's a PPA for it that will integrate it with the apt tools and get automatic updates. Startup Manager doesn't handle the latest versions of grub, so far as I can tell.

I did some searching and found Startup Manager was a dead project and it linked me to "grub-customizer" that seemed to do the job.  |

To remove Widoze or a Linux Partition, I've always used G'Parted. |
|
| Okay that would remove the partition. How would I take out the GRUB boot loader? |

| Use the Windows install disk to repair the MBR. If you don't have an install disk, tools to fix the MBR are available for free, legal download. Be sure to have the tool available before you wipe the Linux partition, though, because after the wipe you won't be able to boot until the MBR is fixed.
