I have a Linux Mint 17.1 Partition at /dev/sda1 and another Mint 17.1 Partition at /dev/sda5. How do I set the MBR to boot into /dev/sda1 instead of the GRUB menu? I know how to use GParted to delete the /dev/sda5 partition but not how to set the MBR.
How to set MBR to Linux Partition instead of GRUB

Grub is a piece of software that is installed in the MBR.Delete sda5 and run grub-update or change grub config manually to boot from sda1, Maybe this howto can help you.http://www.techsupportforum.com/357-how-to-configure-grub-bootloader-in-mint-linuxubuntu/If grub is installed on sda u can change the grub config to boot from sda1.If not try to install grub on sda.$sudo grub-install /dev/sda$sudo update-grubIf grub-install gives problems, you can install manually from the Grub shell with:grubroot (hd0,0)setup (hd0)quit
