ok I had the same story once when I wanted to remove ubuntu to repartition my space and install it again, but I couldn't remove GRUB, but it was still usable to boot windows untill I did the partitioning thing, then things became messy
try booting ubuntu from a live cd and run grub uninstall from a terminal, but I can't be sure of something like that the thing is, windows' bootloader is usually installed in the C itself, while GRUB installs itself on the MBR directly, so even if you use a windows recovery CD, it'll tell you that your windows boot is clean, now you have 2 options The easy one: if GRUB boots your pc with no errors 4get it and keep working The hard one: remove grub manually using a boot cd or something by using a fixmbr command or clean MBR, then use a windows recovery disc to make sure it'll boot On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 2:27 AM, NumPy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Andy, > Couple of questions: > 1.)
