I have Linux Mint 17 quqinq on sda1, sda5 is swap. Ihave installed Elementary Os on sda6 and Peppermint 7 on sda7 for test purposes. Now I want to remove both Elementary OS and Peppermint from the computer, leaving only Linux Mint17. How to do this without booting problems? M.I.S

Boot into Mint and run

Quote:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub

reboot and check for correct boot options.
once you have a bootable Mint (from new grub menu), reformat sda6 and sda7 partitions (if there are no files you need).

Maybe we can help OS-Uninstaller

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y os-uninstaller && os-uninstaller

That is a good way to destroy your ability to boot Mint.

maybe, but you can always restore rough, very simple...If you break GRUB then boot into the liveCD mode and install boot-repair

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

In one click, everything will be restored to a better mind

The simplest way is to first verify that the Mint bootloader is in the MBR for an MBR install, then either use GParted if it is installed on Mint or boot any Live CD with it on and unmount and format the partitions with Elementary and Peppermint.
