onverting to a single boot

[bettablue]

I was trying to install Linux on the D drive of my computer, but with all
the issues I have decided to rip it out and stay with my XP Pro. Only
problem is that when I got rid if Linux, my system still thinks it has to
load through the Grub boot loader and will only display Grum 2 on an
otherwise black screen. How can I ginally get rid of this thing and get my
computer to boot to Windows normally?

did you try a reformat of the drive? then next is fdisk if it doesn't sort
it.

Hi,

Boot the WinXP CD, load the Recovery Console by pressing 'r' when first
prompted. Login using the admin password. From the prompt, run fixmbr. Then
exit the console, remove the CD and reboot. An alternate way of doing this
would be to load a Win9x floppy and run fdisk /mbr from the prompt.

Any old win98 boot disk. Boot then type FDISK /MBR.
