windows boot/grub menu How to edit/remove?


Recommended Posts

So I installed windows 8 Beta a long time ago on a seperate drive. Used it about a month then installed Windows 7 back onto the computer on another Dive/partition. soo for the past months I everytime I boot I get prompted as to what windows I would like to boot in. How do I remove this selection or uninstall Windows 8 off the other drive/partition? Overall I want to simply format the other Drive/partition and not have anything to do with it again. .

Soo a few questions

Can i simply format the other Drive with windows 8 on it and not be effected?

How do I edit the Windows Boot Menue or Grub whatever you want to call it?

UPDATE! OK I installed the new version of Windows 8 the Developers Beta and now I still have a boot menu but its a new one with colors. . it askes if I wanna run Windows 7 or Windows Developer Build. . the Windows 7 is NOT the windows 7 Build it is the OLD Windows 8 now HOW do I remove this or go about uninstalling it. . or if I format how do I remove it from the boot menu?

How to Change the Default Operating System to Start in Windows 7 and Vista

If your saying your new boot menu has color I would assume it updated to new windows 8 version, somethings might have changed - I have not played with w8 much as of yet. Have it running in a VM, which from first look -- it sucks! Does not seem like a desktop OS at all, more like for a phone or pad or something.

You could grab easybcd to work with the bootmenu as well

edit: btw I would prob suggest you look into virtual if you would like to play with other OSes in the future. Its a much easier safer way of playing with other OS for sure. VirtualBox works great and FREE!!

    • Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. Oh, thank God! Now, I will finally sleep a whole lot better at night trusting FB. 🙄🙄🙄
    • The Teams Admin center is still a mess. I use it all the time. They really need to talk with the Intune or Entra ID folks for help.
    • Senua's Saga: Hellblade II to get 60FPS mode, dev commentary, and more alongside PS5 launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in May, Microsoft revealed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II as the next first-party Xbox game to reach PlayStation platforms. Now, that release has an official release date attached to it, and alongside it, developer Ninja Theory is releasing an update across all platforms with some major features, including a 60 FPS mode on consoles. The Performance Mode is easily the biggest addition to the story-focused immersive experience. Ninja Theory is delivering it to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 players, but there is some bad news for Series S owners, as it is being left out from the upgrade. "The result is smoother gameplay, especially noticeable during combat and fast-moving moments of the game," says the developer. It's unclear how much of the game's visuals Performance Mode users will be missing out on compared to the default 30FPS "cinematic" mode. PC players are getting an upgrade too. A Very High preset is being added to the settings menu for those wanting even higher fidelity graphics. Optimizations have also been a focus on PC, and Ninja Theory says that the title will be Steam Deck Verified when the Enhanced update lands in August. Next, similar to the original, Dark Rot is incoming as an optional experience that players can enable when starting a campaign. This will have a rot effect being applied to Senua every time she dies, and if it ever reaches her head, the game will come to an end, with all progress from that save being wiped. The Photo Mode in Hellblade II is being upgraded with this update too, with the studio touting a new Motion tab for cinematic video capture, as well as improvements across the board to the feature. Lastly, four hours of developer commentary is being added to give a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio crafted the story and gameplay. "Hear from the ensemble cast, key collaborators in depicting Senua’s experience of psychosis, and members of the development team who poured their heart and soul into Senua’s story," says the studio. The Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced comes out on August 12 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 for all owners and Game Pass subscribers as a free upgrade. As for the PlayStation 5 launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II that's happening on the same day, Microsoft will be offering two versions: Standard and Deluxe. As expected, Standard includes the complete base game for $49.99, but Deluxe goes further by adding on a copy of the first game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as well as its original soundtrack. The Deluxe Edition costs $69.99 to purchase.
    • Not sure what you’re talking about. Has been there for quite a while and in the latest versions it’s actually quite good. I use it several times a day as I am a terrible typist.
