What was the cause of the problem:
Grub2 looks for the Windows boot files for detecting Windows entries. Though you removed Windows 7, the Windows 7 boot files aren't removed (which are "Boot" folder and "bootmgr" file). And as Windows 7 boot files are there, grub2 simply assumes that, there are Windows 7 installation also. Hence the dual entry.You should find what you're looking for inside of
/boot/grub/grub.cfg
. This file is dynamically generated by update-grub2
. I am dual booting Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. If I wanted to remove one, I would simply delete it's section from this file.menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C08C7F598C7F4944 chainloader +1 } menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C08C7F598C7F4944 chainloader +1 } menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos4)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C22A7EEA2A7EDB3D drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1
Changes should take effect immediately, so make a backup and be careful. Also, anything you change in this file will be completely over written if you run
update-grub2
again.make sure you're delete the right one or you'll be sorry...
OR
Mount the
/dev/sda1
drive. Then in that drive look for a folder named Boot
and a file named bootmgr
. Remove both the folder and file. Then run update-grub2
command again.You might want to install grub2 again. As I see your Ubuntu installation is at
/dev/sdb
, the commands will besudo grub-install /dev/sdb
sudo update-grub
Bye..
