I installed and removed Ubuntu 8.04/9.04 and Kubuntu 9.04 then Ubuntu 9.04 and removed it/them

Now, after BIOS/POST, I still get the OS selection screen

How do I remove this??

It doesn't have to be this difficult

Might be that ubuntu loaded grub on. You can edit grub conf file or re-install the original boot loader for ms.
