fixmbr

Name: Anonymous 2006-09-06 22:33

I want to remove linux from my computer so I want to use the fixmbr command to get rid of GRUB.  The problem is my pc didn't come with a boot disk or anything remotely useful.  Instead it came with a 1GB primary partition that holds a backup of xp.

When I enter xp from GRUB, it always shows a screen that asks if I want to enter Windows or Window's recovery console, but the recovery console doesn't seem to work; it just flashes an underscore in the top-right part of the screen.

So my question is: How do I get my normal boot loader without the recovery console?

Thanks, but if I deleted the linux partition that has that file in it wouldn't GRUB get an error?

I found an old windows disk in my closet and finally was able to use fixmbr.  So problems solved :)
