Hello I had Linux on a separate HD than my Windows XP installation, but I
removed the Linux installation. The MBR keeps telling it to load Grub (the
boot loader that Linux uses), but now I want to put the Windows XP
information back into the MBR w/o reformatting my system, or using the
repair tool on the installation CD. Is there any way to easily add the
windows information back into the MBR...essentially uninstalling Grub? Any
help would be appreciated, thanks
 
Boot with a DOS boot floppy and run FDISK /MBR - that should fix the Master
Boot Record.
