How to remove backtrack when dual booted with windows 8

Wondows 8 has provided many new features that make many tasks much more easies.In windows 7 when dual booted with ubuntu or backtrack or any other os(with windows 7 pre installed),removing the other os later is preety hard and long.Also you need windows installation disk for the process.But in case of  win 8 it is much more easier and faster and you don't need anything.
Just go to start menu click your user icon and click "change account picture".
Then click on "general".
Scroll down and click "Restart now" under advanced startup
Click Troubleshooting
Click Advanced option
click command prompt

Then your computer restart select windows and login with your password
now the command prompt windows appear
there type following commands
bootrec.exe/fixmbr
bootrec.exe/fixboot
bootrec.exe/scanos
exit

Restart your computer now your computer must boot with windows 8


To remove backtrack right click on lower left corner(or windows + x)and click on disk management.There must be 3(space you separated for swap,boot and mount during dual boot) or more(if you have given separate space for other folders like home,bin,etc) unknown partitions with no drive letters.Right click on each and click "delete volume"Then after deleting all those you'll get free space in which you can create new partition by right clicking and then create new volume.

Hope this help.
