I think I am missing something. Are you saying that you removed FC from the said machine and it has only Windows now? In that case, just do the "fix mbr" procedure from Windows and you will not have to deal with grub at all -- the machine will boot straight to Windows. What you are asking above (rootnovirify method, from grub), would only make sense if you still have grub installed and have multiple systems installed as well. If you have no Linux OSes installed, you do not really need grub and fixing the MBR would be the most convenient way. -- Please reply to this list only.
