Hi,
A while back I had installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive, and I stupidly didn't remove my Windows 8 hard drive. So I had accidentally installed Grub on my Windows 8 boot stuff.
Just now I have borrowed my friend's Windows 8 Pro disc to try to fix the boot record (I have a preinstalled Windows 8 on my laptop).
So I booted up the disk and used command line to repair the boot:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Now Grub seems to be removed; when I click Ubuntu in the "Use a Device" advanced options it doesn't boot to Grub it just boots normally. But that's where the problem is: I want to remove the Ubuntu option in the Use a Device area (that's in advanced boot options when one holds down shift while clicking restart).
Is there any way to remove it?
EDIT: Yes i know that what i did wouldn't be approved by microsoft or anything but still could someone please help me out?
Thanks
