Question Un-installing LINUX on a dual boot station


Dear Experts;

I am trying to uninstall LINUX out of a dual boot laptop which has LINUX and Win XP, with LINUX being the primary boot. Because LINUX is the primary boot I am "scared" of running in to a situation where I am not able to get Win booting after removing LINUX as I do not have a Win XP boot disk with me.

Can someone out there please advice me on the procedure to follow to avoid the above-described scenario.

Thank you,
vut

PS: I am using grub!
