Thanks guys for all your comments. For some of you things are obvious but for most of the users message like for example "Bootdisk flag ENABLED" means nothing and sound like I have to spend another couple of hours "googling" what does could mean... For me if something is disabled means that it exist but is switched off/not active.. so I was assuming that ML or its remains are still on the camera but disabled somewhere in the bootdisk file or maybe there is now extra file somewhere in camera ROM that prevents ML to boot from the card... a mystery
As I was just about to take my 5d for the repair I was getting annoyed.. maybe to much
Anyway I took my 5d to repair today:( I can only hope they will not charge me hundreds of pounds...

You are right a1ex, LiveView button was disabled after restoring default settings! but both dials (on the top of the camera and on the grip) are dead. I am sure it is nothing to do with uninstalling ML but it happened right after uninstall so I was confused.

Last question  ::) .. : after uninstalling/disabling ML from the camera and burning the memory card will the canon service technicians know that ML was installed????

a1ex,  The reason why I am sending my 5d to the service is that suddenly after I installed ML, 2 buttons stop working. I have removed ML formatted the card, even reinstall the canon firmware but 2 buttons sill are dead(live view and main aperture dial). Its probably the coincident and have nothing to do with installing ML... i hope

Hi g3gg0, The trouble is that I am not sure what exactly 5d store in the internal memory. I now when I burn the card or do low format on PC then the memory card is completely wiped out.. but i don't know what technicians in canon repair services will see on the computer screen when connect my 5d..

Thanks for your reply.
I have removed ML from the camera so when I check the firmware version on the camera menu, ML is not visible. Is that mean no traces at all of ML firmware  on 5d itself??
Can I remove it now from the card by formatting the card on my PC?? or it must be done through the camera?
If I remove the ML from the camera first the option to remove it from the card is no more available in the camera menu...
I hope that canon people will not say "sorry but you have installed ML and your warranty is void" ...

Its silly as ML advise to format the card  by pressing PicSel button(to remove ML from the card) and then to remove any trace from the camera itself you actually need to put the ML firmware back to the memory card  to run installer!!!! where is the sense?? very annoying! After I  installed ML, main dial button and Live View button stopped working!! I want to give the camera  to service (still under warranty) and have no idea how to remove any traces of ML from camera itself!!  anyway its 5d mk2. Any help much appreciated
