Thread: Ubuntu won't delete from boot option

-

i deleted partition had windows ubuntu, , went usb recovery media windows , did following commands:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot

rebooted. ubuntu still in boot options. how can fix this? want remove traces of it. installed alongside, , on windows 8 didnt use wubi. have 2 options ubuntu in boot options, both identicle names, neither deleted runnung commands "work". help?

those bios repair commands, not uefi commands. commands did not corrupt windows install.
have windows 8 pre-installed secure boot. need windows 8 repaircd or may need go uefi menu , remove ubuntu entries. uefi has own memory , saves entries.

not sure if when running boot-repair, did run rename files function? if need rename first or restore windows efi file.
if did this, run second part.
perform this, run boot-repair --> adv options --> tick "backup , rename efi files" --> apply
reboot pc uefi/bios , chose ubuntu, , please tell observe.
please enable secureboot in bios, run boot-repair --> advanced options --> "grub options" tab --> tick "secureboot" --> apply.
undo & rename files original names, need tick "restore efi backups" option of boot-repair.
user disabled secure boot, , unchecked in boot-repair. bypasses grub , goes straight in windows.


windows uefi install should have backup of bootmgfw.efi here:
c:\windows\boot\efi\bootmgfw.efi working windows x86_64 installation.


enter uefi menu, select "boot maintenance manager", "boot options", "add boot option", "no volume label,....primary,slave...1, gpt,..", browse /efi/ubuntu/ folder via uefi boot menu, , select grubx64.efi . give name want (eg "precise"), "commit changes , exit", enter.
, remove entries uefi remembers them.
uefi system shows ubuntu. delete ubuntu entry & reboot couple of times & resets defaults including drives & usb ports.

gather never got ubuntu dual boot correctly?

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
