A while ago, I tried some backup and recovery program, the brand of which I cannot remember (possibly paragon ?), and tried to recover some backup in the brand specific boot time environment.
The whole thing did not work (the boot time environment didn't load), and it left a piece of dirt in my computer that looked like
this.
Only it used to give me another option besides the present "Win Vista/2000" that was "Linux", so I gues the recovery environment had to be some kind of linux package. In trying to update my windows to windows 10, the selector has somehow lost the "linux" option that used to be there.
I've managed to get along so far selecting the real operating system (it doesn't even have a countdown, so it's really bothersome). But I suspect the whole operating system selector is doing some weird things to my computer now, and I want to get rid of it for good. Does anyone have any clue as to what "linux loader" is it from its look, and what should I do to get rid of it, in a windows 7 environment?
Thank you for answering
