Remove Grub from Boot

[Guest ReeceJones]

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
