[xubuntu-users] dual boot - how to remove one OS

[Fernando Duo]

If you delete /boot folder of the OS you need to remove (in its own
partiiton), it should make boot-repair teake it out from the boot menu.
Otherway, if format that partition, I'm sure it will.
By default, boot-repair installs grub in all available hardrives. Choose
the right device from the advance options.
You can find detected OSes, where you choose the default OS to boot.
