    Default Remove xp and ubuntu untouched windows 7

    I have three operating systems on the laptop and the desktop. I decided to give ubuntu and xp and let w7. With the desktop I did a little of the wild: From Ubuntu to format the partition of xp. Grub2 now sees nothing more than ubuntu. I've restored but no way to enter the w7. In this computer I do not mind the mess, but the notebook does not want to repeat the play. To install you have to follow an order but no one has which is the order or how to uninstall an OS without sweep away the neighbor.
    I hope your advice.

    In the desktop if you only have one hard drive, or if you have more than one operating system but are in the main console writes in Ubuntu:
    1 .- To reinstall grub: "sudo grub-install - recheck / dev / sda" .
    2 .- To give operating systems out there in the system: "sudo update-grub2" . If this solves your problems you know you have to do on the laptop.

    Thanks for answering. I already did. Even I did putting the installation disk and reinstalling grub2. Then I downloaded the Supergrub and nothing. There are many instructions to install ubuntu with other operating systems, but I see the steps to remove xp and leave the others.

    I bet a pineapple Sugus that while you brush your XP partition, GRUB still perfect boot entry for windows and the "failure" is that this system, which has given way grub as when "good taxes" does not is your boot loader. Your problem is not with grub or with GNU / Linux . Your problem is with Microsoft products and do not know what they do, they do what they want. Almost certain to do to brush the win7 is because the boot loader is installed in the partition with XP installed and when you delete, you load this .
