Hello,
I just had a miserable 2wks repairing Grub that was damaged by an Acronis image restore attempt.
Prior to all the trouble Easy BCD was handling the boot of W7 and Linux Mint. In the process of getting Grub repaired we had to install it on /dev/sda1 where the W7 bootloader is. Now Grub allows me to boot to W7 and Mint.....but I still see the Windows Boot Manager, and the countdown, prior to 7 booting. I can't go directly from Grub to W7 (as I think I should be able to).
I believe I am still seeing the WBM because Easy BCD is still installed. Can I safely remove it without damage to the booting of either OS? I never wanted Grub to boot both 7 and Mint but it's that way now and I'll live with it. Or will 7 not boot and I'll have to rebuild the MBR from the install disc?
Thank you all in advance!
