I have Chrome OS installed alongside Ubuntu 12. If I delete Chrome
will I need to repair GRUB?

thanks

Assuming you initially installed ubuntu and then added chrome os in a
separate partition then if you remove Chrome OS then I think all you
need to do is to boot into Ubuntu and, in a terminal, run
sudo update-grub
which will search the available partitions and re-build the boot menu.
I am not sure about the situation if Chrome OS is in the boot
partition however, if that is the case then I would take advice from
someone else.

I could not get chrome to install without wiping the disk. I think I
could just regenerate GRUB and I'd be alright. But that would not
change the fact that the disk was somehow formatted as a GPT, does it?
How did it get that way? I do not think it came that way and Ubuntu
would not install that way, would it?

You said you had Chrome OS alongside Ubuntu, now you say that you
wiped the disk to install Chrome. You had not previously mentioned
GPT so I don't know what that is about. If there is nothing else on
the disk just wipe it again and start from scratch.

Sorry I have two threads going. Ignore the GTP issue here. I have
Ubuntu 12 on the disk alongside Chrome Lime. If I delete the
partition containing Chrome will I need to regenerate GRUB (from the
Live CD)? Chrome went on the hard disk first.

thanks

I believe it'll be ok - obviously the Grub entries to boot to Chrome
OS won't work but the Ubuntu partitions should still be bootable.

I think that you must only tell grub to check for installed operating
systems after removing it. You can do this by running "update-grub" as
root.
