Uninstalling GRUB and Linux
 
I have been using GRUB to access my LINUX 7.2 and WINDOWS 2000 OS.
Each OS is on a seperate hard drive.
I now want to remove LINUX and the GRUB OS chooser so that I can install WINDOWS on that drive.
Can this be done without wiping out my current WINDOWS hard drive?
If so how can it be done?
Is there any documentation on this subject?
Thanks for any help.

yeah, basically if grub resides on the MBR.. just fdisk /MBR and then from there, you should be able to use fdisk or any other utility to wipe out the linux partitions and format them accordingly.
Wiping out the MBR, Windows will rewrite to it so it just boots Windows each time afterwards..

I think if you had GRUB and Win2000 you'd probabbly had it on your first sector of Linux partition, so if you want to get rid off it just pop your bootable Win2000 setup floppy, and there you'd be able to delete linux partition and format freed space to NTFS or FAT32. Simple as this.
