Grub2 was fixed to prevent offering to install on any windows partition. This
seems to be a regression if it's offering Windows partitions now. I've noticed
a couple of similar cases on askubuntu.com:

I am not sure how to get the script to run. Is there a ceartain
application that is required?
I was also wondering what mounting the disk does. Will I still be able
to boot Windows if I mount the partition?

Extract the script from the archive, and if you extracted it to your
Downloads directory, then open a terminal and:
cd Downloads
sudo ./bootinfoscript
Mounting means opening the filesystem on the disk and attaching it
somewhere within the Unix filesystem hierarchy so you can access the
files. nt
Thank you. I will run the script now.
I came across another option to get back onto windows that re-installls
the windows master boot record. Would that still allow me to access
Ubuntu? Here is the link to the page I found it on:

You appear to have mistakenly installed grub to the boot sector of the
NTFS partition. You will need to use the windows tools ( FIXBOOT
command in the recovery console iirc ) to repair the boot sector,
replacing grub with the windows boot loader.

You seem to be conflating two unrelated errors. One involving mounting
your windows partition from within Ubuntu, and one with booting windows.
If you want to clear the hibernation file and mount the partition from

bcbc, since the reporter is no longer using Ubuntu, and there's a lot of
noise and little signal here, there's no point in keeping this bug open.
If you think there has been a regression in bug #576724, then follow up
there.

Grub2 may have been fixed to prevent installing on any windows
partition, but it is still installed on my windows partition. I didn't
select to install grub on the windows partition, I chose to install
Ubuntu alongside windows. It did not specify where it would install the
grub, and there was no op
That is completely unrelated to this issue bcbc. Grub is installed to
the MBR by default, and if you want to put the windows MBR back, you
need to use the FIXMBR command.

I have tried using the FIXMBR command in the windows recovery disc but,
as described in an above post, it did not work. Could you point me to a
source that can instruct on how to properly use this command instead of
arguing about how a post was unrelated? I did happen to find one of the

Phillip Susi,
There seem to many a number of issues here, but the fact is that Grub
installed itself over the windows boot sector, not the MBR. Wiping out
the partition boot sector prevents Windows from booting, whereas
replacing the bootloader in the MBR is normal (obviously). The bug I

The FIXMBR command in the windows recovery console will *REMOVE* grub,
and restore the Windows boot loader. Since you deleted Ubuntu I
assume your goal is to not have it any longer, and return to a pure
Windows system. If you are still having trouble
