I don't know how multiboot works, but:

For (1), try to open all the Nitdroid kernels...
If it tries to start but crashes, that means the kernel is present but the File system isn't.

If it doesn't, start, means the kernels aren't present, check if the FileSystem is present:

Code:

$>sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 32.0 GB, 32015122432 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 977024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1               2      884865    28315648   c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2          884866      950401     2097152  83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3          950402      974977      786432  82 Linux swap

If you have more partitions than me, that's where your ND is installed.

For the current kernel

Code:

uname -a

For 4-
You'd need to claim the emmc space used by the ND partition. Don't know if a NitDroid uninstaller exists. If it doesn't you'd need to unmount all the mmcblk0 partitions, make a swapoff, delete ND partition and resize with fdisk.

I don't know how to uninstall multiboot, But I read that installing uboot deletes it. Then you can overwrite uboot with the KP (the non uboot version).

Consider making a complete backup, then reflash, then restore the backup. It'll be easier and faster than reading how to do all the things above.
