How To Delete Linux If You Have Dual-booting with Windows

If you have Windows and Linux both installed on your system and you want to uninstall Linux, go ahead!

Procedure:

Linux' bootloader called GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) replaces Windows' default bootloader.
You have to delete the partition in which Linux is installed and fix the MBR of WIndows using a system repair disk (recovery disk).

Create a system repair disk:

Boot up Windows and go to Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance and click on 'Backup and Restore'.
Select 'create a system repair disk' in the left pane and follow the steps.

Delete Linux Partition:

Now right-click the computer icon and select 'Manage'. A window will be opened. Now click on 'Disk Management' from the left pane.

The screen should look something like the image below.



Find the partition in which Linux is installed. Right-click it and select 'Delete volume'. Be careful as you may lose data if you delete the wrong partition.Linux will be deleted from system after the above step.

An unallocated space will be created. Right-click again and select 'Extend volume'. This will fill the free which was left after deleting the Linux partition.

Fixing the default bootloader:

Boot your system using the system repair disk and select 'Repair your system'. Now click on 'Troubleshoot' and open Command Prompt.

Enter this command:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr

The above command will replace the GRUB menu.

Restart your system and Windows will boot directly now without any menu.

How To Create Strong Password

My last post taught you about making your PC say something. This post is gonna teach you creating strong passwords. Password is a secret word or phrase that must be used to gain admission to something... It allows you gain access to a computer, interface or a system. As pentesting is one of my interests, it's my daily work to crack passwords and make my system more secure. We, network security administrators know the methods to crack weak passwords easily and trust me, even a noob or script kiddie can crack them just by using some tools. A lot of noobs try social engineering too to gain access to your important stuff. If you have a strong password, it's difficult for people to guess it and hence, your account remains safe and secure.
