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?

I have a HP pc running Media Center Edition 2005, and I've been dual-booting suse 10.1 mainly to mess around with xgl.  I got bored of xgl so today I decided I want to just get rid of linux and free up space for my windows partition.

Where would I download the .iso (legally)?  I'd rather have the normal windows boot loader than SBM.

Oh, and why would I have to reinstall windows?  Windows works fine, I just don't want to deal with GRUB problems when I remove linux.
