Re: [ubuntu-uk] Grub on Windows Machine
Format the partition ubuntu is on, then either boot into Dos and type "FDisk /mbr or boot to the comade console and type "/fixmbr " to rewrite the master boot record and reinstate XP's bootloader. I'm assuming XP is on partition C:.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Grub on Windows machine
You should be able to boot from your XP installation CD, and choose the recovery console. Once you are at the recovery command prompt, type "FIXMBR" to put the default windows boot program back onto the disk. See here (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/ t-6036.html) for a similar problem with Red Had / Fedora. I was going to see if there was a similar thread in the ubuntu forum, but it's offline at the moment.

[ubuntu-uk] Grub on Windows machine
I have more than one computer and the one I'm typing this on is a Windows XP computer with an Ubuntu partition. However, I have decided that I would prefer to have the two OSs completely separate, particularly as all my computers are wirelessly networked. Can anyone advise me if there a recommended method to uninstall Ubuntu, or does one merely delete the partition? Also, how does one delete the Grub menu afterwards?
