How to delete UBUNTU on bootloader XPS 8500 windows 8
I have a Dell XPS 8500 win 8.1. I recently installed Linux Mint 17 on an external HD which booted from GRUB. I now removed Mint 17 ok but I'm left with a reference to 'UBUNTU' in my bootloader. I'm unable to remove this reference. this reference to UBUNTU prevents me from booting from a LINUX USB. I think I need to repair the bootloader but can't and I have tried all sorts of.....FIXBOOT, FIXMBR. etc. Any help with be apprciated

Download the free version of Easy BCD. It makes it easy to edit the boot files.

Hi, Mary thanks for taking the effort to reply. I have tried Easy BCD but it did not appear to work, maybe I have not been using it correctly. Do you have any suggestions please.
