how to remove Grub

how to remove Grub

[Chris]

Does anyone know how to remove/uninstall the Grub loader from Red Hat 8.0?

I've been dual booting my PC between WinXP and RH8, but have now set
up a separate PC in an attempt to learn Linux without fear of destroying what
I have on my XP box, and would like to restore it back to XP only.

With DOS/Win9x I'd just use "FDISK /MBR" to remove LILO, but I'm not sure
what to do with XP and Grub.  Is it the same procedure?

Thank you,
Chris

I just did this yesterday. I had to use a windows 98 startup disk in
order to do the fdisk /mbr. But everything worked fine afterwards.

Firstly, is XP on the same physical disk drive as linux or a seperate disk.

If they are on the same drive then using the /mbr option will prevent you 
booting onto XP as well. However if the drive is phisically seperate then go 
ahead and clean it up.
