Honestly, I'm not sure what the best step would be if you have no Windows installation media. Personally, I'd probably download Windows on another machine and put it onto disc or a USB stick, boot from it and then fix the GRUB.

Saying this though; if you don't require Windows only software, you're probably better off running a flavour of Linux. Mint is my favourite distribution at the moment!

What if you don't have a Win7 repair disk, and your computer didn't come with one? By the way I tried reinstalling another linux OS, to restore the grub menu, but Win7 wasn't even on it, I tried using Win7 recovery partition, but it just loaded up then immediately exited into a restart. Basically iv'e pretty much just given up, so I backed up my most important stuff to mediafire and plan on fully formatting my HDD and just installing Linux until I can buy a Windows install disc.

You'd have to change some of the code... I'd have a search through the forum and if there's nothing there, post something to ask the question of how to do what you want to achieve.

The support guys are really helpful!

Let me know if you need any help with anything....

The support forums here: http://helpdesk.umbrella.al... were really useful though and the support staff helped a lot with the customisation I needed.

Same problem, what is the solution to windows 8/8.1? I don't have a grub problem, but when bios option is set to EUFI (there are EUFI and Lagacy Bios), it loads windows normally. But when it is changed to Lagacy Bios, it trys to load removed Linux from partition unsuccessfully. Even when the linux was working, to load it, I had to change bios to Lagacy Bios otherwise it would normally start windows without giving any dual boot option. Any suggestion? Thanks.

bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr was the fix for mine to remove the GRUB. Without /mbr it was still stating up the GRUB. Thanks for the post! Very helpful!

Re: Dell Inspiron 530 – How Upgradable is it?

Thank you Luke!

So far I upgraded to WD 250GB for OS drive and WD 1TB for storage both are VelociRaptors at 10,000 RPM, NVIDIA GT240 512MB DDR3 (this video card is all this DELL can power but good enough for me) and next is the memory of 8GB and I am done for now and for the next 2-4 years.

Will update as soon as I install the memory.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I believe that either of those should be fine.

It's been a long time since I've had my Dell Inspiron 530 though!

Let me know how you get on.

Re: Dell Inspiron 530 – How Upgradable is it?

Hello Luke,

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with updated BIOS and Win7 64bit OS. I would like to have 4x2GB memory chips installed to equal 8GB of RAM.
What is the exact memory specs?
Will these do the job?
From Crucial = 4GB kit (2GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400
http://www.crucial.com/stor...

or maybe these from G.Skill = 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
http://www.newegg.com/Produ...

Thank you,

Vadim.

Stupid Linux quacks. They couldn't make it easy to remove GRUB and go back to they way it was. People have to pull their hair out trying to fix it. I'll be impressed with linux when they can figure out the simple concept of double click to install.
