How Do You Remove Grub From An XP Dual Boot?
Dual booting a machine with an operating system you no longer use wastes processing power and can cause your machine to stall or crash. If you no longer need to load Linux on the PC running Windows XP, the solution is to remove a setting known as the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB). Removing GRUB will speed up your PC’s boot time and get rid of the hassle of selection prompts on startup. Turn off your computer. Insert the Windows XP Installation CD that came with your machine. Turn your computer back on. It will auto-detect the CD. Type “R” to load the Recovery Console when prompted. When you see a cursor flashing, type “fixmbr” (no quotes). Press “Enter.” Type “exit” (no quotes). Press “Enter.” Follow the onscreen instructions to restart your machine.
