Grub removal
I have mandrake on one HD and win ME on the other. Grub was installed with mandrake for the dual-boot thingy. How do I safely remove grub so that I only boot to my windows ME disk?

Go to a DOS prompt, and type :
fdisk /mbr There ya go! All nice and safe! ???Can you get into DOS??? *****Colonel Panic***** |
Ummmmm
Someone has told me that before. I take it you mena booting with a floppy and then doing that? Doesn;t that wipe the master boot record leaving my computer absolutly crippled?
|
No. It doesn't wipe the master boot record. It just replaces the grub or whatever bootloader is in the mbr and replaces it with the original boot loader program.
|
Right, so ....
How should I do this? Use a boot disk and then run fdisk /mbr or do an F8 and go to does that way?
|
That's right. Just get yourself an msdos or a windows boot disk that has fdisk on it and boot up and run fdisk /mbr.
