How to uninstall backtrack 5 dual boot window 7
How to uninstall backtrack 5 dual boot window 7
It’s not uninstall actually, Its just simply delete it.
after a month i tried to use backtrack 5, i found out that my disk space allocated for backtrack 5 was nearly empty, 10 GB was too small. So i’d like to add new disk space, but i haven’t found the way to do it. I came up with uncool steps.
- Remove old backtrack installation
- Re-install backtrack with new disk space allocation
to remove backtrack installation, which is dual booted with windows 7, i have to make sure my windows 7 can still work well. after googling, i got the message to do fixmbr to recover windows 7 boot manager. so here are the steps.
Step-1
Fixing windows 7 boot manager
- prepare your win7 installation disk (dvd/usb), plug it in.
- start your computer, set the boot priority from bios setting (first boot usb, or cd/dvd room)
- when windows 7 installation comes up, choose repair
- choose repair this computer with recovery tool, click next
- choose command prompt
- enter this command
- Reboot your computer.
STEP-2
Remove backtrack
- Now your computer should start the win 7 automatically
- Go to control panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > choose Disk Management (under storage properties)
- You will see clearly your computer partitions, delete your backtrack partition by right click > delete Volume
- After it is deleted you will have new disk space and u can expand your other windows partition.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIf someone wants to remove BT5, is it possible that he just go to My Computer and just delete the partition that are without a name or label and leave the System and D drive alone.
Will that do the trick.
