Start into Ubuntu. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst file in an editor of your choosing. Remove the entries needed for booting Vista. Done.

im needing help. i got rid of microsoft from grub but i think i messed up grub. i cant log on to my machine. i get

Error 11: Unrecognized device string

Press any key to continue...

this happened after i tried to install grub 2 and had a problem installing it. so i tried to uninstall it. i moved everything from my microsoft partition to this partition and now its not booting up. i do have a live cd with me if that will be any use.

It could be that you inadvertently deleted your GRUB config. Does it show any kind of selection screen when you boot? If so, what happens if you move the selection to an item an press 'e'?

yes i get a choice to select from. i pressed 'e' on the item i normally select and i get this:

root 08e28692-0f58-4adl-a240-7c617d1ff6d8
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7 generic root=uuid=0828692-0f58-4adl-a-
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic

what does that all mean?
