Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Removal of linux partition

 

That should be ordinal numbering. Darn autocorrect.

It all depends on your setup and where grub is written to. If you remove the partition with grub on it then you can't get in at all. Of you remove a partition then it could make grub unusable because grub uses original partition numbering. Ie. Second will become first etc. and grub won't be able to load what you want because it can't locate it.

We need more information to answer accurately.

I need to remove Robolinux from a partition on my harddrive.  I know I can use gparted to take if off, but what will happen to grub menu?  Will the windows part go and I wont be able to boot anything.  I used to know how to do this, but time dims the menory
