remove a Linux partition
 

Hi All,

I have a PC with 3 installations:
1 windows install
2 Linux install

And I would like to remove one of the Linux partitions, but the grub2 loader is in the installation I'd like to remove. How can I modify my installation so that the booting process starts in the other Linux installation (it had grub 2 as well)


Sorry if that is a obvious question but I can't find info on that...
Thanks

You will have to install the grub of your Linux partition(which you want to keep) into the MBR.

moving grub
 

I think this will work, ie using a live cd to boot from the 'first hard drive', if the desired partition becomes your first drive after removal.Grub2 might override windows as the bootloader if installed from a recent live disk, and include a choice, but make sure first.

When you are in the grub menu, boot from the linux you want to retain.
After it boots, open a terminal window.

#grub-install /dev/sda or /dev/hda depending on the type of hard drive.
#update-grub

This will install grub in the MBR and the default linux will be the one you want to keep. Then delete the linux partition you don't want to keep.
