xsport   10 #1 Posted February 6, 2012 i was experimenting and got a old 40GB external usb hard drive and i instaled ubuntu 11 on it.  but the annoying this is now i dont want to use it, when i boot the machine it asks me which OS i want to use. it comes up with windows 7 and ubuntu.  how do i get rid of the ubuntu option???  i have unplugged the external drive and its still there.
